Sirens for Life blood drive is back

Canadian Blood Services
News Release

********************

On May 13th and 14th, Local Emergency Services and Canadian Blood Services will be holding its annual Sirens for Life campaign. The Sirens for Life campaign is a partnership between Canadian Blood Services and local Emergency Services to raise awareness and to encourage blood donation. On average, every minute of every day, someone in Canada requires blood. Emergency Services personnel often see first hand the need for blood as a result of the emergencies they encounter in the course of their duties.

Throughout this campaign, donors will be able to donate their blood “in honour” of emergency service workers in North Bay. On May 13th from 11:30 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:30 and May 14th from 11:30 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 18:30 donors may visit the North Bay blood donor clinic at 325 Elks Lane and make a life-saving blood donation, then sign a” In Honour” book supporting our 911 emergency responders in the North Bay area.

This campaign challenges local emergency response workers to recruit the most blood. Staff, friends and family members from various Northern Ontario Emergency Services are encouraged to donate blood in North Bay on May 13th and 14th. The true winners of this Campaign will be the recipients of blood products.
