	LONDON DRUGS London Drugs offers dedicated shopping hours for those working on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. Across 82 stores, London Drugs offers exclusive shopping for all healthcare workers and first responders during the last hour of the store’s opening, between 8-9 pm daily Monday to Saturday and 7-8 pm Sunday. “We are offering frontline workers a dedicated time to get their shopping done as easy and as stress-free as possible. They often work long shifts and many stores are closed by the time they are off their day shifts,” said Clint Mahlman, London Drugs president and chief operating officer. “We know it is a stressful time for those working on the frontline of this health crisis and it is imperative we do everything we can to help these individuals stay healthy and take care of them as best we can.”

	BC Place is committed to supporting the community during this unprecedented time.

To date, over 5,000 pounds of food has been donated, including over 6,000 bags of potato chips, 3,200 cans of pop and 760 bags of peanuts. The stadium is also continuing to help shine a light on charities and non-profit causes that are important to British Columbians through its globally-recognized Northern Lights Display. This includes lighting up blue in a show of support for health care workers and essential services employees around the world who are working tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
