A great way to honour our veterans in November, donate blood
From Canadian Blood Services
Red Deer residents encouraged to donate blood to honour those who serve and have served
Many donor centres are open November 11 to receive much needed blood donations
To commemorate Remembrance Day, Canadian Blood Services encourages Canadians to honour members of the Canadian Armed Forces past and present to donate blood or blood products.
Members of the armed forces are among the most generous of donors. The Department of National Defense first partnered with Canadian Blood Services in 2006. To date they have donated over 45,000 units of blood and inspired thousands to become regular donors.
Each year, nearly 112,000 new blood donors are required across the country. Donors with all blood types are encouraged to donate.
Right now, there is an immediate need for new and returning donors to fill every open appointment across Canada with over 1,690 available appointments this month in Central Alberta. There is a particular need for and donors with O negative blood as it is the universal blood type that can be used for any patient.
The Red Deer donor centre, located at 5020 68 Street is open:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m.
Friday, Saturday from 9 a.m. To 1 p.m.
Remembrance Day Nov 11 from 3-7 p.m.
In compliance with the public health agency of Canada’s direction to enable physical distancing, at this time, we can only welcome people with appointments.
