Fifty years on the North Shore

What started as a modest storefront in Lower Lonsdale has become one of British Columbia's most trusted independent pharmacies — still family-run, still putting people first.

In 1977, Maria Kwong took ownership of a modest 1,200-square-foot pharmacy in Lower Lonsdale. Nearly fifty years later, Anderson's Pharmacy stands as one of the most trusted independent pharmacies in British Columbia.

Maria's story isn't just one of survival — it's a case study in community-first healthcare. Through every change in the industry, Anderson's has stayed independent, personal, and rooted in the neighbourhood it serves.
