Northern BC is ready to give

People in Northern BC currently have little to no access to blood or plasma donation. That means:

• Long travel distances, two days round trip to Kelowna, Metro Vancouver, Edmonton or Calgary

• Limited opportunities to donate

• Fewer ways to contribute to life-saving care

Northern residents want to help patients across the country. They just need the opportunity.

Including more Canadians in life-saving donations

Health care should be fair, no matter where you live. A Northern BC plasma donor centre would:

• Improve access for rural and remote communities

• Support culturally safe care

• Ensure the North is part of Canada’s blood system

Proven in Communities Like Ours

Cities like Thunder Bay show that regional centres work. Northern BC has:

• A strong regional hub in Prince George

• Established healthcare infrastructure

• A culture of community support

We are well positioned for success.

Growing Local Support

Support is building across the region:

• Local governments are endorsing the idea

• Organizations are stepping forward

• Residents are getting involved

This is a community-driven effort.

The Opportunity

A plasma donor centre in Northern BC would:

• Increase Canada’s plasma supply

• Reduce reliance on external sources

• Bring donation closer to home

It’s a practical, achievable step forward.
