For back-to-school season, the Town of Rosemère invites you to roll up your sleeves.
Back-to-school season is also a good time to make a meaningful gesture. The Town of Rosemère invites residents to take part in the Town Council Blood Drive, organized in collaboration with Héma-Québec. This simple gesture of solidarity can make a major difference for people who need blood products. Appointments can easily be booked online or by phone.
Blood drive details:
LOCATION: Memorial Community Centre, 202 Grande-Côte Road
DATE: Tuesday, September 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Wednesday, September 9, from 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
OBJECTIVE: Encourage 120 donors to roll up their sleeves and give blood over the two-day blood drive.
Héma-Québec recommends making an appointment before going to the blood drive. You can easily book online or call 1-800-343-7264.
“Giving blood is a simple gesture, but one that can make a real difference in the lives of many people. In Rosemère, we are proud to join forces with Héma-Québec and give our community the opportunity to make this gesture of solidarity. I invite residents to roll up their sleeves on September 8 and 9 and help us reach our goal of 120 donors,” says Rosemère Mayor Marie-Elaine Pitre.
Don’t be afraid to roll up your sleeves!
We all need to pull together to maintain our collective blood supply. Every person who takes the plunge and books an appointment makes an important contribution. Will you be one of them? If you’re afraid of needles, just know that the people on site are qualified to oversee this experience. They will be able to reassure you, and you will be so proud to have donated.
