Canadians asked to "bring a friend" to help replenish national blood supply
Canadian Blood Services is asking all eligible Canadians to donate blood this fall and bring a friend to their next appointment.
Higher than expected cancellations and no-shows over the past few months have put extra pressure on the national blood supply.
This year, Canadian Blood Services has reported 133,000 appointment cancellations and 119,000 people who have missed their appointment entirely.
To book an appointment along with a friend, family member or coworker today, download the GiveBlood app, visit blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) today.
