Blood Donor Clinic - 500 Mapleton Road
Who Needs Blood?
Approximately
every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. In fact,
according to a recent poll, 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a
family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for
medical treatment.
One blood donation - in just one hour - can save up to three lives.

What You Can Expect
- Including time for screening and recovery, the process takes about one hour
- Proof of identity, such as a valid driver’s license or blood donor card, is required
- The screening process includes the completion of a questionnaire and interview process
- During the entire process, steps are taken to ensure that the donation process is as safe and comfortable as possible
-
You should have had something to eat and drink in the hours prior to
donating as well as adequate sleep. If you are hungry or thirsty at the
time of your blood donation, you may be at slightly increased risk of
experiencing a reaction to donating. You must also meet hemoglobin
(iron) requirements (hemoglobin test done at clinic)
- Your hemoglobin, blood pressure and temperature are checked
- Only new, sterile equipment is used during the donation process
- Most people feel well while giving blood and give regularly without incident
- Some people may feel faint, weak or nauseous during or after donation
- Some people may get a small bruise, some redness or moderate pain at the needle site
- Very rarely will people faint, have muscle spasms or suffer nerve damage
- You cannot get a transmissible disease by donating blood in Canada
Donors
are the heart of our blood supply system, the lifeline to hundreds of
thousands of Canadians who, each year, need blood, blood products or
stem cells. Without generous and committed donors, there would be no
blood system in Canada.
