In fact, we’ve lost 31,000 donors during the pandemic, resulting in the smallest donor base in a decade.Please, make donating blood part of your long weekend plans. Show up for patients as a long weekend hero! The Guelph donor centre will be open Friday, July 1st from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Saturday, July 2nd from 8am – 2pm.
