Thanks to Dawson blood donors

September 21st, 2022

Héma-Québec held a two-day blood drive at Dawson on Sept. 13-14 and a total of 121 students and employees donated blood. Of these, 31 were first-timers! Many first-timers said it was easy and that they would do it again.

M. Lauzon of Héma-Québec said that they exceeded their goal of 120 donors and that it was an “excellent” result, especially considering that they have been experiencing up to 30 per cent of no-show’s for appointments elsewhere.

Thanks to the Dawson community donors for saving lives and embodying our value of well-being of all!
