Who's Saving Who?
It is critical that we attract 1 million new donors in the next 5 years to meet the rising health system and patient needs. We can achieve this, but it will require a new approach. Our new brand platform, Who's Saving Who?, which launched May 8th, is intended to spark conversations and motivate people to donate.
About Us:
Together, with donors, recipients, employees, partners, and volunteers, we are Canada's lifeline. Our role is to provide lifesaving products and services in transfusion and transplantation for Canadian patients, and to safeguard Canada's systems of life essentials in blood, plasma, stem cells, and organs and tissues.
We acknowledge that the work of Canadian Blood Services spans many Territories and Treaty areas across the country, and we are grateful for the Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who have guided us in this important work. We recognize the land and waters that have inspired our work and offer gratitude to those Indigenous peoples on whose territory we work, live and play.
