Residence blood donor clinic open to public

A blood donor clinic scheduled for Vanier Hall on Wednesday, November 26, is aimed at students living in residence but open to all, says the Canadian Blood Service.

The clinic runs 5 to 8 p.m. in the Oak Room; as always, walk-in donors are welcome. The entire experience, including health assessment and recovery, takes about an hour.

According to statistics from Canadian Blood Services, although many Canadians are eligible to donate, fewer than 4 percent actually do. That’s one reason why the service tries to make it convenient to give, by setting up mobile donor clinics at schools and workplaces.
