Canadian Blood Services

About Us

Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to saving lives and improving health for patients across Canada. As stewards of the country’s blood and biological supply, we manage the collection, testing, and distribution of blood, plasma, and platelets, and oversee national programs for stem cell, organ, and tissue donation.

With a focus on safety, innovation, and sustainability, Canadian Blood Services supports Canada’s healthcare system by ensuring a secure supply of lifesaving biological products. Our team also advances groundbreaking research, develops new technologies, and leads public education campaigns to inspire participation and awareness.

At its heart, Canadian Blood Services is powered by donors, volunteers, and community partners who together make it possible to meet rising patient needs. We are the connection between donors and patients, healthcare professionals and medical researchers. Every day we work diligently to help save lives, restore health and earn the nation’s trust. From individual donors to corporate partners organizing group donation events, every contribution helps create healthier communities across Canada.
