Overview
MacQuarries is a community pharmacy group based in Truro, Nova Scotia, serving communities across the province's mainland. Its pharmacies dispense prescriptions and provide advice on medicines, alongside everyday health products and other retail goods. The group also runs a home health care business supplying mobility aids, rehabilitation equipment and products that help people manage daily activities at home. Staff help customers choose equipment for purchase or rental and provide servicing and repairs through the group's dedicated home health centre. Founded in 1920, the business grew from a Truro drugstore into a regional pharmacy operator and remains part of the Pharmasave network.
