Public welcome at residence blood donor clinic

A blood donor clinic scheduled for Vanier Hall on Wednesday, November 28, is aimed at students living in residence but open to all, says Canadian Blood Services.

According to statistics from Canadian Blood Services, although more than one quarter of Canadians say they would like to donate blood, fewer than 4 per cent 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.

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. To book an appointment, phone Sandra Davis at 519-253-3000, ext. 5067.
