🌈 And that's a wrap on the 2025 Pride season, folks!

We were so happy and grateful to participate in many Pride festivals this summer taking us from coast to coast!

Along the way, we met thousands of 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, newly eligible donors and proud allies, having great conversations about our updated screening criteria, our apology, and ways to join Canada’s Lifeline.

Canadian Blood Services continues to be steadfast in our commitments to foster 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion and we’re dedicated to ongoing work to strengthen trust and relationships with community.

The school year is just starting, but Alejandro is already teaching beyond the curriculum. As a stem cell donor, he loves to share his story with his class. Not to be praised, but to show by example who he is as a donor – someone who gives without expecting anything in return.

It’s in those moments with his students that Alejandro truly sees what he gets when he gives.

Roll up to the donor centre for good vibes and an after-school snack 🍪

Pro tip: a salty snack beforehand is recommended as it helps your body retain fluids while you donate.

It starts with one donation and grows into a legacy. Ken Groves from Calgary, AB, has now given blood 1,600 times. Wendy Parker, another fellow Calgarian, is close behind with 1,098 donations, making them some of the leading blood donors in the world! 😍💪

These aren’t just milestones, they’re moments that add up to something lasting.

Ready to feel what it’s like to start a legacy of your own? Whether it’s your first donation or you’re reaching a milestone of your own, it’s the perfect time to experience what you get when you give.

Did you know that AB donors are one of the rarest types? Only ~3 % of people in Canada are AB — yet their plasma can be given to all blood types. Liquid gold, folks🩸✨

Coach Carey knows that being a donor isn’t all about giving something away to help someone else. The feeling of satisfaction you get when you contribute to something bigger than yourself—that part is for you.

Experience what you get when you give. Book your donation today at https://bit.ly/40MzUG9.

It’s not red—it’s golden🩸✨

Plasma is a part of your blood that's used to help treat serious illnesses like cancer and immune deficiencies. When you donate plasma, you’re giving those in need a better chance at healing and recovery. It takes a little more time—but what you give (and get) is deeply human.

CHEO’s leadership team stepped out of the halls of the children’s hospital and into the donor chair this month. Led by CHEO CEO Dr. Vera Etches, the CHEO Partners for Life contributed towards our goal of 1 million new donors! As leaders in pediatric healthcare, the CHEO team knows how important donors are to the children that they work with everyday – for some, it was their first time, for all, it was deeply rewarding. Thanks, CHEO!

At the start of one life, you could save another! Donating cord blood is safe, simple, and doesn’t change your birth plan – including delayed cord clamping. Cord blood is collected from the placenta after birth, and if it’s not donated, it’s thrown away as medical waste.

When cord blood is collected and banked with the Canadian Blood Services Cord Blood Bank, it is available to anyone in Canada and around the world who may be looking for a lifesaving stem cell match.

Parents at select hospitals can choose to donate cord blood. Learn more at blood.ca/CordBlood.
