Very interesting.

Early drugstores were essential to the health of small settler communities. Commercial medicine was far too expensive and far too difficult to bring into a town like Uxbridge. Local doctors relied on these drugstores to produce the required medicine. To get into this business it required a degree. It was common that they also operated as a stationary and a dry goods salesman.

Archelaus Doxsee “A.D.” Weeks (1834-1904) opened the first drugstore in Uxbridge in 1855. In early drug stores, the druggist was responsible for making their own medicine. Many early drugstores started as apothecaries. This made training in herbal medicines a necessity. They would also import minerals and drugs to mix into cures. A.D. Weeks remained a prominent citizen of Uxbridge. In the 1860s he formed the Uxbridge Citizen’s Band. He hosted the second iteration of the Uxbridge Mechanics' Institute and Library in a room above his store. In 1874, he purchases the failed Uxbridge Guardian newspaper and ran it for a number of years. He retired from his business in 1895 after running it for 40 years. He sold his store to Don McGillivray, and lived nine years in retirement before passing away.

Dr. Donald McGillivray (1867-1956) was born and grew up in Whitby, the son of a Scottish immigrant George McGillivray and Caroline Fothergill from Ontario. He attended Uxbridge Secondary School. Some time around 1890 he opened his own drugstore in Uxbridge to support himself while he was in school at the University of Toronto, studying to become a physician. Around 1895 he moves into A.D. Weeks old store at 68 Brock Street W. This is where this picture is taken. He runs the store until 1902 when he moves to Toronto fulltime to pursue his career as a doctor. When the First World War broke out he enlisted to serve in the Canadian Army Medical Corps. He spent most of the war in Salonika, Greece, where he caught an illness and was returned to Canada in 1917. He reached the rank of Temporary Lieutenant-Colonel. He continued his practice until his retirement.

❤️ 7 Years of Trail Capital Pharmacy — Let's Give Back!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have this pharmacy and the opportunity to serve such a wonderful community.

As we enter the season of giving and sharing, I have a small favour to ask. ❤️

I'm starting a new tradition!

For our 7th anniversary, Trail Capital Pharmacy is donating $700 to Precious Minds Support Services, a wonderful local organization supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

I'm hoping our wonderful community can help match it!

❤️ $700 from us + $700 from our community = $1,400!

Next year, we'll pledge $800, then $900 the following year, and hopefully continue this tradition for many years to come.

❤️ How to Donate:

🚧💊 PHARMACY RENOVATION UPDATE: Use Your Imagination Edition 😂

We’ve officially reached the drywall sanding phase, which means Trail Capital Pharmacy is currently wrapped in enough plastic to make things look… a little suspicious. 😂

Don’t worry — WE’RE OPEN and functioning normally behind the sheets!

But apparently these sheets are bringing out everyone’s imagination. 🤣

So far we’ve heard:

😷 “COVID is back!”
🎬 “It’s like The Boy in the Plastic Bubble!”

Now we want to hear yours! 👇😂

What does our pharmacy look like today?

Wrong answers are HIGHLY encouraged. 🤣💊

Drop your best one in the comments — we need some entertainment while we survive the sanding phase!

In the meantime, prescriptions are being filled, phones are ringing, and your pharmacy team is carrying on as usual behind the great wall of plastic. 😂

One messy phase closer to the finish line! 🚧❤️
