This July, London Drugs is celebrating the spirit of inclusivity and community that defines our nation. In a values-driven initiative, the retailer has partnered with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) to extend a warm welcome to newcomers in Canada. Throughout the month, London Drugs is offering free printed Canadian passport photos to Canoo app users, helping new Canadians take a significant step toward establishing their roots in Canada. We chatted with Clint Mahlman, president and COO of London Drugs, to learn more. —Vita Daily
London Drugs has a strong reputation for community support and values-driven initiatives. Can you tell us what inspired the partnership with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship to offer free passport photos to Canoo app users?
Our philosophy at London Drugs is to go above and beyond the expected. Through our store operations we have witnessed the newcomers to Canada having to navigate so many new elements. Settling in a new city, a new province a new country has so many complexities. London Drugs has been supporting newcomers through our stores for years. Upon learning about the ICC’s mission to help newcomers integrate into their communities as active citizens, we recognized its alignment with London Drugs’ dedication to community engagement. Every newcomer seeks a community pharmacy and store to call their own. With our connected wellness offerings, diverse product range spanning beauty, tech, and lifestyle, along with our deep Canadian roots, we hope London Drugs will become the heartbeat of their new community.
With citizenship rates among new immigrants at an all-time low, how do you see London Drugs’ initiative helping to address some of the barriers newcomers face in becoming Canadian citizens?
Access to health care and holistic wellness is important for all citizens in Canada and by supporting newcomers in building connections with our pharmacies and stores, and the London Drugs community we hope they feel welcome and supported as they strive to create a new home.
London Drugs is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce. We are committed to building a company that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Every London Drugs’ store also works hard to support the unique needs of its local communities. This manifests itself in the form of an extensive mix of food products we feature in support of diverse dietary needs as well as global tastes. Through the Canoo App and working with the ICC, we hope we are signaling that we are excited to play an important role in helping new Canadians feel welcome and become fully engaged in their communities.
London Drugs is known as a trusted community hub in Western Canada. How do you ensure that initiatives like this resonate with and effectively support the local communities you serve?
We are proud of how well our London Drugs store teams know their local community members and regular shoppers. We know they will embrace this partnership, which will introduce new Canadians to their store and our full services. We value our teams’ feedback, the feedback from our shoppers, and are responsive to showcasing new and unique items which are often recommended by our community members. It is important that we listen and respond to their needs.
What feedback have you received from Canoo app users or new Canadians regarding the free passport photo initiative, and how does this feedback shape future community support programs at London Drugs?
As it is just being launched, we are excited to find out how Canoo App users will respond. We launched our partnership with the ICC last year and we are very happy with the results. This year we wanted to expand the partnership to include something very meaningful – the photo that will go into your very first Canadian passport. I can’t imagine anything more meaningful as a new Canadian.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

You made some first rate points there. I regarded on the internet for the problem and found most individuals will go along with with your website.

I know of the fact that right now, more and more people are increasingly being attracted to surveillance cameras and the industry of images. However, really being a photographer, you should first shell out so much time period deciding which model of photographic camera to buy and also moving out of store to store just so you might buy the most economical camera of the trademark you have decided to choose. But it doesn’t end right now there. You also have to take into account whether you should obtain a digital video camera extended warranty. Thanks alot : ) for the good tips I received from your blog site.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Thanks for your publication on this web site. From my own personal experience, often times softening upward a photograph may provide the digital photographer with a little bit of an artistic flare. Many times however, the soft clouds isn’t precisely what you had in mind and can sometimes spoil a normally good image, especially if you intend on enlarging that.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

I want to express some appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of such a instance. As a result of checking through the the net and obtaining notions which are not productive, I assumed my life was well over. Being alive without the strategies to the issues you’ve sorted out through this post is a critical case, and ones which might have in a negative way affected my career if I had not encountered your web site. Your own training and kindness in maneuvering all the things was tremendous. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t come across such a thing like this. I’m able to now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your impressive and result oriented help. I will not think twice to propose your web blog to anyone who ought to have counselling on this situation.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
