Welcome to St. Mary’s

Located in the heart of Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore, the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s is a rural municipality consisting of five electoral districts. Incorporated in 1879, the Municipality has a population of 2,233 and is bounded by the counties of Antigonish and Pictou, the municipalities of Halifax and Guysborough, and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s was notified on May 19, 2026, that Shoppers Drug Mart has decided that pharmacy services from the temporary modular facility will cease on June 11, 2026.

Since the closure of the previous pharmacy location in 2025, the Municipality has worked to support continuity of pharmacy services by providing municipal space for the temporary modular facility and by initiating a transparent, province-wide procurement process aimed at securing long-term pharmacy services within the municipality through private sector development.

The Municipality recognizes the importance of pharmacy services to residents and the significant impact this announcement will have on the community.

The Municipality remains committed to supporting a fair and open process to encourage long-term pharmacy services within the municipality.

Adjournment

A 10-minute question and answer period pertaining to agenda items.

For our last post, we want to remind you about trusted sources!

Whenever an emergency happens, getting the right information is crucial. Make sure you’re tuned into organizations that you know you can trust, like our local Regional Emergency Management Organization, local municipality, and the Province of Nova Scotia.

If it’s a time of the year that may see an evacuation, like flood or wildfire season, it’s important to have “go bag” prepared.

A go-bag is a pack that every family member and pet should have in the event you need to immediately evacuate your residence and won’t have time to pack. In an emergency, ever minute matters – don’t get caught off guard!
