Montreal - It’s possible to plan a donation now for the Good Friday blood drive, to be held under the honorary chairmanship of Archbishop Christian Lépine of Montreal. It will take place on Friday, April 15th, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral, located at 1110 Mansfield Street in Montreal. The goal of this event is to achieve 50 donors.

Spring is just around the corner and to mark the renewal, why not make a blood donation to help people who need a transfusion of blood products to regain their health.
