Description

This National Blood Donor Week (June 8-14), Canadian Blood Services is thanking the more than 400,000 people whose generosity sustains our Canadian blood and plasma supply—and asking all who are eligible to give this summer. Together, we are creating a community built on connection and compassion for one another. At a time of growing Canadian pride, National Blood Donor Week is a reminder of what is possible when people in Canada support each other. Recent survey data from Canadian Blood Services illustrates this sentiment, with nearly half (46 per cent) of people in Canada saying donating blood or plasma is a uniquely Canadian act of generosity. And, more than seventy per cent (71 per cent) of Canadians believe that donating is one of the most meaningful ways people in Canada can give back to their community.
