Blood donations typically decrease around a holiday weekend as regular donors travel or are otherwise occupied, but the need doesn’t decrease.

Making a donation before, during or after the long weekend will help ensure an adequate supply for patients in need, says Canadian Blood Services. The staff invites members of the campus community to bring a friend and give during a donor clinic Wednesday, March 27, from 5 to 8 p.m.in the Oak Room, Vanier Hall.

Walk-ins are welcome, and if you wish to book an appointment, phone Sandra Davis at 519-253-3000, ext. 5067.
