Pharmacy is a surface light rail transit (LRT) stop under construction on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system in Ontario, Canada. It will be located in the Golden Mile neighbourhood at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue East and Pharmacy Avenue.[2] It is scheduled to open in 2022.[1]
