How we calculate. Pharmacies — open pharmacies in our database as of the latest update. Province population — Statistics Canada, July 1, 2026; city population — GeoNames. A pharmacy belongs to the city in its address, so cities whose postal name also covers suburbs may rank higher than their city limits alone would suggest. Our database does not include every pharmacy in the country, so the figures show the relative difference between provinces rather than the exact number of pharmacies.
