World Blood Donor Day

Details

During National Blood Donor Week we celebrate donors for their generosity and spirit and for giving life.
Over 100,000 new donors are needed every year so there is enough of each blood type on hand for patients across Canada. This will not happen without your help.

Join us Thursday, June 14th for World Blood Donor Day from St. Vital Shopping Centre from 12-3 PM to learn your blood type, celebrate donors and remind people to give blood now and during the summer…one of the most challenging times for Canada’s blood system.
Making an appointment to help save a life has never been easier. Visit blood.ca, download the GiveBlood app or call 1-888-2-DONATE and find a nearby donation site. Walk in appointments are also available at all locations.
