Over the summer months, collections decline. It is important that we fill our open appointments between now and the end of the summer because the patient need for blood and blood products over the summer months does not decrease. As of today there are 600 open appointments between now and the end of August…
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Each donor centre has been carefully planned around hospital and patient demand, our job is to collect what is needed to supply fellow Canadians with the lifesaving products that they need.
LIKE…
Blood: We collect, test and manufacture blood and blood products, including red blood cells, platelets and plasma. We also provide diagnostic laboratory testing services in some provinces.
Plasma: We collect plasma from volunteer, unpaid donors in Canada. We retain some of this collected plasma to meet the transfusion needs of Canadian patients, but most is shipped to contract manufacturers who use a process called fractionation to create plasma protein products. We distribute approved plasma protein products to hospitals in Canada (excluding Quebec) to treat patients with immune disorders and diseases such as hemophilia.

The Regimental Band of the Governor General’s Foot Guards will be returning for their fifth concert at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Labour Day Sunday, September 1 at 2:00 p.m
The band shares a close connection to the Governor General and provides music for many ceremonies in the Ottawa area, including the annual nationally televised Remembrance Day ceremony held at the National War Memorial. The band is immediately recognizable in their iconic scarlet tunics and bearskin hats.
The band will showcase its different small ensembles from the flute, clarinet, saxophone, and brass sections. They will also perform “programmatic” music for the entire band:- A musical fantasy depicting Godzilla’s attempt to take over Las Vegas, and other exciting tunes from the cinema. The program will be rounded out with several gorgeous works written by Canadian composers.
Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be welcomed at the door with proceeds to St. Paul’s to cover advertising and promotion.
Celebrate Labour Day Sunday afternoon with the Regimental Band of the Governor General’s Foot Guards, in air-conditioned, accessible and acoustically-pleasing St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West in Perth (www.stpaulsperth.ca).
