For 20 years our Council has supported Canadian Blood Services by sponsoring the Rockland blood donor clinics. After donors complete the donation process we provide care and refreshments to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. Finally we encourage them to attend the next clinic where familiar faces will be waiting to greet them. This is an important event for our Council.
Over the years our Council has received many awards for supporting Canadian Blood Services.
