Chris Wong
PharmD, BCGP
(Geriatric Specialist)
Chris Wong, Pharmacist at Victoria Park Pharmacy
My name is Chris Wong and I graduated from the University of Toronto in 2015. I started off my practice in the hospital setting working at various hospitals including Belleville General Hospital, Mackenzie Health Hospital and North York General Hospital. I then developed a strong clinical interest towards geriatric medicine which naturally propelled me to learning more about geriatric pharmacy and receiving my Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist certification in 2018.
In August of 2018, I decided to step down from full-time hospital pharmacy work to part-time and became the co-owner of Victoria Park Pharmacy. I saw a need to help educate patients in the community so that I can hopefully prevent some of these patients from being admitted to the hospital in the future. Currently, I practice at both North York General Hospital and Victoria Park Pharmacy.
I believe in empowering patients through education to take control of their own health. I enjoy providing education to patients in various avenues such as public presentations, medication reviews/consultations, or even through a simple telephone conversation. It is true that the profession of pharmacy is always changing, but at Victoria Park Pharmacy, our philosophy of patients come first will always be the foundation. I look forward to meeting you and making a difference for your health care.

Walter Lum, Pharmacist at Victoria Park Pharmacy
My name is Walter Lum. I am a pharmacist who graduated in 1989 from the University of Toronto. I worked as an intern and staff pharmacist for a Guardian pharmacy after graduation. After that, I worked as a full-time staff pharmacist for Shoppers Drug Mart in North York, and became the pharmacy manager and eventually the associate/owner for another location in Scarborough.
In December of 2010, I stepped down as the associate /owner of the Shoppers Drug Mart and became the co-owner of Victoria Park Pharmacy. I have worked all of my professional career in the retail pharmacy environment and enjoy the relationships with customers and the challenges of this environment.
I enjoy learning new things and look forward in participating in the expanded scope of practice that the profession of pharmacy is currently undergoing. In June of 2012, I received my certification from the Canadian Diabetes Educator Certification Board to be a diabetes educator. This has helped me to better serve our patients with diabetes.
