A new IDA drugstore opened on April 1 in the Southside community of Danskin.
The Telehealth-affiliated pharmacy opened in the old Starland building.
Pharmacist Shadi Al-Hawari is the owner of the new store. He also owns the IDA pharmacy in Fort St. James.
“Everybody is anxious for it to open. [Now] they don’t have to come into Burns Lake [to get their prescriptions],” said Glen Sombert, accountant with the Cheslatta Carrier Nation.
The pharmacy will be staffed by one person at a time on a rotating schedule, Sombert said.
The hours of operation will be Monday, Wednesday and Thursday - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
