Hello my name is Lesley. I am so thrilled to be working at Trailside Pharmacy and Elora Apothecary.

Lesley was born in Barrie and moved to Elora at the age of 12 after her parents fell in love with our beautiful area. Lesley currently lives with her husband and children in Fergus.

Ever since Lesley was a young child she always wanted to work in a field where she could help people in some way. Lesley attended University and concentrated her studies in Psychology. Following graduation, Lesley worked in the social service field (mainly in the mental health sector).

After almost 20 years in the field, changes in both family need and life caused her to seek a change. This is when Lesley found pharmacy and fell in love with the work we do. She found the work satisfied my desire to help people and flex both my customer service skills and great desire to always be learning new things.

Lesley is very proud of the work we do and that everyday she is able to meet and, in some way, help people in our wonderful township.
