London Drugs Strategic PHOTOGraphie Sponsor

PHOTOGraphie Festival is excited to welcome London Drugs as a strategic sponsor!

Did you know London Drugs is proudly Canadian and has been around since 1945? The soldiers were coming home, Zoot Suits were in style and Frank Sinatra crooned over the radio waves. It started as a humble, community drugstore, but this little store on Main Street, Vancouver, was given a big name. The store was named after London, England, the home of Canada’s King, George VI.

Imagine finding cameras in a pharmacy in the 1940’s! Check out their unique story.
