Blood Drive

The Blood Drive program runs at least three blood drives throughout the year in the Medical Sciences building, along with a “What’s Your Type?” (WYT) event during the week preceding each donation drive. They work in conjunction with Canadian Blood Services (CBS) to encourage students at the University of Toronto to donate. In the past, there have been approximately 90 donors at each drive (with a total number of spots available varying depending on CBS staffing and resources). For students who are unable to donate during blood drives, time slots for group donation can be arranged at the local clinic on College Street where they accommodate groups of ~12 donors.
