Rural health-care services get boost from pharmacy students
Preston Eshenko and Gourlay’s alums speak with the University of Alberta on the importance of pharmacists in rural communities and why they love working in our small town.
Unravel the story of our pharmacy, nestled in the heart of Banff.
Gourlay’s Pharmacy has been part of the Banff community since 1923. That’s over a century that we've been taking care of the Bow Valley locals and visitors!
It all started with Hugh Gourlay setting up shop as Gourlay’s King Edward Drug Store on Banff Avenue. Since then, we’ve had a few caretakers along the way, and fast-forward to today where Preston and Riley Eshenko have taken over. Four generations later, we are still proudly locally owned and operated.
