On behalf of Our Blood Counts, we ask for your support in calling for a blood plasma donor centre in northern BC.
Why a northern BC centre?
- Canada still relies heavily on U.S. plasma donors, despite increasing domestic collection.
- Plasma-based medications are essential for patients with serious illnesses.
- Canadian Blood Services needs a million new blood donors over the next five years.
- Northern BC residents want to donate but must travel long distances to do so.
Canadian Blood Services recently opened a plasma donor centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario, demonstrating a potential model for northern BC.

Your name and community will be shared with Canadian Blood Services only with the petition. We may report the number of supporters without identifying individuals. If you opt in, we may contact you with updates and will stop when asked.
