Owner and pharmacist

Hi, I'm Ignatius. Most people call me Iggy.

I own NorthernLights Pharmacy Clinic, and I'm the pharmacist you'll meet when you walk in. For more than twenty-five years I've worked as a community pharmacist and as a clinical pharmacist in chronic disease care.

My special interest is helping people living with diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease feel in control of their health. I hold Additional Prescribing Authority from the Alberta College of Pharmacy, so I can start, renew and adjust many medications, not just fill them.

Outside the pharmacy, I also run TrueWell Naturals, a separate online business offering pharmacist-guided supplements across Alberta. The two are kept apart: your pharmacy records stay with the pharmacy.

What we believe

Good care should be close to home.
