LDExtras Surprise and Delight: BC Lions VIP Experience

On September 22, 2018, LDExtras undertook Operation Orange: a mission to surprise two LDExtras members with the ultimate BC Lions Experience Package, including:

  • A chartered round trip flight with the team to Calgary
  • 2 tickets to the Lions vs Stampeders game on October 13
  • Accommodation at the Lions’ team hotel
  • A $100 gift card to the Lions’ store
  • A $100 Visa gift card

At the Tiger-Cats vs Lions tailgate party outside of BC Place, fans were invited to show off and capture their winning touchdown moves. LDExtras members who participated were automatically entered for a chance to win the Experience Package.

We couldn’t have been more excited to celebrate our two winners with the entire stadium—Leo the Lion included.

Mission accomplished.

As we approach the second year of our LDExtras loyalty program, we’re excited to start celebrating you with new rewards and experiences. Stay on the lookout for upcoming surprises!

$20,000 Raised by LDExtras Members for No Baby Unhugged Program

LDExtras members helped raise $20,312.00 for the Huggies® No Baby Unhugged program at Victoria General Hospital (VGH).

LDExtras No Baby Unhugged Victoria London Drugs

The volunteer hugging program helps ensure all babies, especially those in the neonatal or pediatric intensive care unit, receive physical human touch should circumstances prevent a parent from being at their newborn’s side.

Since Island Health launched its program at VGH last year, it has benefited babies from across Vancouver Island. “A really great hug can help and heal and soothe that’s why the volunteer programs at Victoria General Hospital and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital are so profoundly important as we support our tiniest patients,” said Leah Hollins, Island Health Board Chair. “We are proud to partner with Huggies and No Baby Unhugged® and we thank our caring and dedicated volunteers.”

LDExtras No Baby Unhugged

Between January 26 and April 30, 2018, a $2 donation was made to the No Baby Unhugged® program with each purchase of Huggies Diapers made by an LDExtras member. The funds raised will be used to expand the program at VGH, ensuring more vulnerable babies can benefit from additional human touch, a valuable contributor to their health and development.

Thank you so much to all our LDExtras members!

5 Expert Tips for First-Time Home Buyers

Tips for new home buyers london drugs blog

Buying a new home can be a very exciting and daunting task. While the excitement is great, the tiny details associated with closing on a new home don’t have to take over your life. While the learning curve can certainly be steep, a little homework can help first-time buyers navigate the process feeling accomplished and happy to enjoy their new home. Make sure your home-buying experience goes smoothly with a few expert tips.

1. Check your credit

Your credit score is one of the most important factors in qualifying for a home loan. So before you begin your search, be sure to go over your credit report carefully to screen for possible mistakes and any unpaid or collection accounts. Even if you pay your bills on time each month, you could have a less-than-perfect credit score. Everything from your credit utilization ratio to the age of your accounts can have an impact on your current rating.

2. Explore different financing options

Most first-time home buyers should have a number of different financing options available to help them purchase a new home. Your bank or credit union may have special programs for first-time homebuyers or you may be able to secure a federally backed loan. Keep in mind that your mortgage interest rate will greatly impact the total price that you end up paying for your home, so take the time to shop around.

3. Figure out your down payment

It can take a great amount of effort to gather the down payment for your new home, but don’t forget that you may have access to programs that offer financial assistance for new home buyers. Stumped where to look for help? Reach out to friends, family members and co-workers to find out which lenders they enjoyed working with and which lenders to avoid. A personal recommendation to a lender can often lead to better service!

New Home Buyer Insurance London Drugs Blog

4. Complete a home inspection

Professional home inspections help evaluate new homes for quality, safety and overall condition. If an inspection reveals any serious defects that the seller failed to disclose, you should be able to rescind your offer and get your deposit back. Additionally, once finding out the state of the home, you may be able to negotiate with the seller to make the necessary repairs before completing the sale.

5. Invest in comprehensive home insurance coverage

Purchasing a new home is often the largest financial commitment a person will make in their lifetime. That’s why protecting your home and your loved ones with the most comprehensive home insurance policy available is extremely important. But not all home insurance policies are created equal. Each policy should be unique as the home and people it protects, so be sure to invest in coverage you can count on.


If you are in the process of buying a new home, be sure to protect your investment with the best home insurance policy available. Don’t get caught without the right level of insurance protection when you need it the most. Visit the Insurance Services Department at London Drugs today to learn more and request a quote.
