You are cordially invited to donate blood January 16th @ Capilano University

On January 16th, 2012 the Social Justice Committee will be hosting its first blood drive. Located in the short term parking lot, the Canadian Blood Services will be bringing their blood mobile to take donations from willing students, staff, professors, and community members.

We invite you to join us! If you are interested we encourage you to reserve a spot by calling 1-888-236-6283. They can also answer any questions you may have regarding donating blood. Alternatively you can go to their website: blood.ca

It is important that when providing our campus with events such as this blood drive, that all aspects of the issue are highlighted. In addition to encouraging students to donate, and the importance of donating, we will also be informing students about other aspects including the controversial issues surrounding the strict criteria to donate, particularly the ban for men who have sex with men.

We hope to see you in the week leading up to the blood drive!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the committee at socialjustice@csu.bc.ca or the Canadian Blood Services on their website: blood.ca
