Thank you for confirming your donation appointment. Please review the following information carefully.

Important COVID-19 update:

Enhanced wellness measures are in effect to help protect everyone who enters our doors. 

In addition to our routine cleaning and screening practices, we have introduced enhanced cleaning protocols, wellness stations and physical distancing measures to better protect anyone who comes through our doors.

The donation process

Follow these steps to make your donation experience even easier.

1. Before you arrive

You can complete your donor questionnaire online or on the GiveBlood app before arriving at the donor centre. (Not available if you are a first-time donor.)

If you complete your questionnaire online, print your Q-pass barcode and bring it with you. If you complete the questionnaire on the GiveBlood app, your Q-pass barcode will be saved in the app. Just remember to bring your phone with you.

2. Check in and donate

Check into our donor centre with your Q-pass and ID (or Canadian Blood Services donor card, if you have one). One of our trained team members will go over your questionnaire answers with you and perform a hemoglobin test to determine if you can make your donation today. When you’re all set and sitting back to donate, we recommend doing some leg muscle tensing exercises.

3. Relax and refresh

After your donation is complete, sit back and rest a bit. You can still help yourself to some snacks, but they cannot be consumed inside the donor centre.
