Campus reminds community “It takes all of us to save lives!”

Pointe-Claire, QC - October 27, 2011 - CDI College in Pointe-Claire held a successful blood drive on Tuesday, October 25, 2011. In total, 29 donations were made and several participants signed up for Héma-Québec’s donor registry that that helps those in need of bone marrow transplants.

Héma-Québec provides quantities of safe blood components and substitutes to meet the needs of all Quebecers. To do so, the organization relies on the active support of the citizens of the province and stages blood drives to help replenish its supply.  

As long-term partners of Héma-Québec, CDI College’s staff and students have been involved in several blood drives in recent years. In addition, the campuses seize every opportunity to raise awareness about need for blood products, stem cells and human tissue throughout Quebec.

Thanks to all the students and staff who supported the blood drive with their generous donations!
