Lapu-Lapu Day Vancouver Street Festival Tragedy

Canadian Blood Services extends its deepest sympathies to the Filipino community and everyone affected by this tragic incident. Our hearts are with the people who lost their lives or were injured and their loved ones.

Our top priority is ensuring patients in Canada receive the blood and blood products they need. We are closely monitoring the needs of patients and hospitals in Vancouver to make sure that we continue to meet them, and we are moved that we have already experienced a strong show of support with most appointments in the Vancouver area already filled for this week. However, many appointments are still available elsewhere in B.C. and across Canada. Also, donating in the weeks to come helps keep our national inventory strong into the future.

To book an appointment use the GiveBlood app, our donor portal or call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283).
