Community Event - Burlington/Oakville - Blood Donors Needed Over the Long Weekend
Blood donors are needed in our community over the long weekend. Help fill the 100+ available appointments next week in Burlington.
- The Burlington Blood Donor Center is located at 1250 Brant St., open Monday through Saturday.
- Every minute of every day, a patient in Canada needs blood – this could be for a chronic health condition, a traumatic accident, cancer treatment or surgery. On average, it can take up to five blood donors to help one child undergoing cancer treatment. It can take up to eight donors a week to help a patient with leukemia.
- Canada relies entirely on the generosity of donors to keep the lifeline going. We need more regular donors to maintain a strong national inventory of blood and blood products to meet patient needs. New donors are critical to meeting Canada’s future blood needs.
- Giving blood is one of the most direct ways you can help someone and takes just an hour of time.
