Help SIOR CCC save lives: Join Our Blood Donation Team

 

Did you know that half of all Canadians will either need blood or know someone who will need blood at some point in their lives? Despite this fact, less than 4% of eligible Canadians donate blood in their lifetime.

​

With World Blood Donation Day approaching on June 14th, we are proud to announce that SIOR CCC is partnering with Canadian Blood Services to bring awareness to the need for blood donations. We urge all our eligible SIOR CCC members and the wider CRE community to participate and help us make a difference.
