Rexall Drug Store Marks Grand Opening With Donation to Community Living Greater Sudbury

On Friday, December 2, 2005 , Canada ’s largest pharmacy retailer, Katz Group Canada Ltd., unveiled its new concept Rexall Drug Store in Val Caron. To mark the Grand Opening and Rexall’s commitment to the health of the community, a $2000 donation was made to Community Living Greater Sudbury, a non-profit organization that provides residential and day support to over 100 individuals with intellectual and/or physical disability living in the Greater Sudbury Area. In the photo, Store Manager and Pharmacist, Julie Olivier, on the right, presents the cheque to Deborah Sullivan, Executive Director of Community Living Greater Sudbury. Warren Jeffery, Executive Vice President, Operations, Katz Group Canada Ltd., explained that Julie had recommended the CLGS organization since a big part of the pharmacy related categories is Home Health Care and assisted living products.

   In accepting the donation, Deborah announced, “This year, our Family Home Program chose to fundraise for assisted living equipment such as a modular ramp and a hoyer system. The portable ramp allows us to make homes readily accessible for those individuals who have to rely on wheelchairs for mobility. The ramp will provide our clients with more choices, and an opportunity to experience fuller integration in their community.”

   Deborah continued, “The portable hoyer system assists people with transferring from one area to another in a safe and secure manner. The help of these devices not only makes it safer for people who need assistance with daily living but also increases their feelings of dignity and belonging.”

 

Deborah presented Julie with a plaque in appreciation for their support.
