Approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. The good news is that one blood donation—in just one hour—can save up to three lives.

UWindsor students, faculty and staff will have an opportunity to meet that need as Canadian Blood Services holds a full blood donor clinic in the CAW Student Centre's Ambassador Auditorium on Monday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For this clinic, Canadian Blood Services will use its appointment system. It encourages donors to book appointments by calling 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Walk-in donors are still welcome but appointments will better accommodate donors' working schedules.

As with previous clinics, the Department of Human Resources encourages all eligible employees to participate in this worthwhile process and asks any employees who wish to donate to make the necessary arrangements with their supervisors regarding the possibility of extended lunch or break periods.
