Description
To commemorate Remembrance Day, Canadian Blood Services encourages more Canadians to donate blood or plasma, a gift in honour of the contributions of the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Members of the armed forces are themselves some of the most generous donors. In 2006, the Department of National Defence became Canadian Blood Services first national Partner for Life organization. Since then, they have provided tens of thousands of donations to our national blood and plasma supply.
There are many different ways to serve your country. Canadians can contribute by working in the line of duty like our members of the Canadian Armed Forces, or by rolling up their sleeves to help patients in hospitals across Canada. We need more Canadians to experience the feeling you get from serving your country and saving a life.
Donors can give life by visiting a clinic this week, making a blood or plasma donation as part of their regular activities and inviting family and friends to donate with them in support of those who protect our lives every day. To book an appointment, use the Give Blood App for Apple or Android or visit blood.ca.
