Giving the Gift of Life

Blood donors are needed this month. There are 1456 open appointments available in Winnipeg in December that need to be filled, to ensure that hospital demands and patient needs in our community are met. Individuals can book on their own appointments at blood.ca. It is a wonderful time to give the gift of life!
