Our Team
Tim Brady, Pharmacist - Owner
Most people will tell you Tim’s just a really nice guy who is easy to talk to. He has been a practicing pharmacist since 2000. Tim has worked in hospitals, large pharmacy chains, and independent pharmacies in both Canada and the United States before opening Brady’s Drug Store in 2014. Tim is active as the Past Chair of the Board of Directors for the Ontario Pharmacists Association, and is a Past President of the Essex County Pharmacists Association and former Ontario College of Pharmacy Accreditation Committee Member. Tim also sits on the Public Advisory Committee for St. Clair College’s Pharmacy Technician program and presents regularly to the Windsor Essex County Prostate Support Group. And if that isn’t enough, he does national and provincial talks to pharmacy colleagues on patient-centred care.
Tim has received awards for Excellence in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Leadership from Ferris State University in Michigan, and was the Alzheimer Society of Windsor-Essex County’s Philanthropist of the Year in 2012. Tim was also part of the Rotary Vocational Training Team that same year, and travelled to East Timor to help set up rural pharmacies and drug distribution networks. In 2023, Brady’s Drug Store was a finalist for the Windsor-Essex Chamber of Commerce Company of the Year award.
