I’m safe, definitely not O. But I can’t give blood for so many reasons, including the fact that I was in the Dominican Republic.

I’m type O, and what a surprise that they’ve changed the criteria and i’m actual eligible to donate!
Signed up, filled out my profile, click to book and — er — there are no sites near the central area of the city. Over 1 hour to get there and I live in a central neighbourhood!

Hema-Quebec has made something of a tactical error putting their main collection centre at Place Versailles.

I guess rent must be cheap out there?

Yeah, I’d give blood, but it’s never near me (I’m central and O+ also). I check periodically, but there’s a limit to how inconvenienced I am willing to be.

There are lots of blood drives around town – here’s the link to Héma-Québec’s info page. There seem to be regular donation drives in the West island, in Laval, and in Brossard.
To be fair the main collection centre is a 5 minute walk from Radisson metro.

Cool, and if you live in the West Island, Laval, or Brossard, that’s helpful.

They have blood drives at the universities and cegeps as well if you aren’t happy with the googling I did for you. In fact, I found the Héma-Québec site through the McGill Students’ Blood Donation Association.

All three locations mentioned are right there.

As I said, I check periodically for ones which are near me.
