November is Diabetes Awareness Month across the globe. Join CPhA in raising awareness about the condition and the important role pharmacists play on the diabetes care team. 

As Canada enters another respiratory virus season, pharmacists are urging Canadians to protect themselves and their communities as new polling shows vaccination intentions remain low.

We just released the National Benchmark for Pharmacy Practice—a first-of-its-kind framework that defines the health-care services pharmacists are educated to provide in Canada.

That’s why we’ve pulled together 5 important things you should know about the Benchmark:

CPhA is pleased to announce a new partnership with The University of Toronto Press (UTP) for publication of the Canadian Pharmacists Journal (CPJ). Beginning in January 2026, UTP will assume full publishing responsibilities for CPJ.

New FAQ resource now available, Acetaminophen use in pregnancy: What you need to know. This tool provides clear, evidence-based information to help you address patient questions and guide discussions about acetaminophen use in pregnancy.

CPhA was proud to represent Canada at the FIP Congress 2025 in Copenhagen, joining pharmacy leaders from around the world to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing pharmacy around the world.

CPhA is calling on governments to take action to regulate the practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and insurers that are placing unnecessary strain on pharmacies and undermining patients’ ability to choose where they receive care. To support its call, CPhA is releasing template legislation designed to improve transparency, safeguard patient choice, and reduce administrative burdens for pharmacists.
