Each month, nearly half of all blood donation appointments across Canada are available at donor centres and mobile events in Ontario.
You can make all the difference to patients and their families.
O-negative blood donors are especially needed because this blood type can be transfused to any patient. In times of emergency or for newborn patients, O-negative blood, the universal blood type, makes a lifesaving difference.
Cancer patients, accident victims and people with rare, life-threatening, chronic, and genetic conditions rely on blood, platelets, and plasma donations every day.
A simple donation could go on to save a life and change many more. Every donation causes a ripple effect that goes on to have a lasting impact in the lives of others.
Two blood donation clinics are coming to Orillia in March.
Canadian Blood Services will be at the Best Western Plus Mariposa Inn and Conference Centre, at 400 Memorial Ave., March 13 from 2 to 7 p.m. and March 16 from 1 to 7 p.m.
Appointments are required and can be made at blood.ca or by calling 1-888-2DONATE.
