Since Amanda Gorman's poem 'The Hill We Climb' is now being deemed too 'controversial' for Florida elementary schools, why don't we all take 5 min and actually listen to her words, delivered from the Capitol at Pres. Joe Biden's 2021 inauguration

For today’s ‘Milestone Monday’ we’re celebrating Bruce, who recently hit donation number 300! Bruce was kind enough to share his photo and story with us in the hopes that he would inspire even one person to donate for the first time. #BloodForLife #CanadasLifeline

I am glad to be back @CanadasLifeline donating blood 🩸. September 12 marks the first day I am eligible to donate after meeting my husband almost 18 years ago. Thank you to everyone who worked to overturn the ban on donations from gay men 🏳️‍🌈. #CanadasLifeline #BloodDonation

If you’re not already part of Canada’s stem cell registry, please consider joining – you could save a life. Just ask @DLeBlancNB. He was given, in his own words, “a second life” thanks to the generosity of this young man from Germany. What a great story. cbc.ca/news/politics/leblanc…

How a young man in Germany saved a Canadian cabinet minister's life | CBC News

Dominic LeBlanc was battling a very aggressive cancer when Jonathan Kehl of Bad Hersfeld, Germany, made a decision that would form a lasting bond between the two.

For the past 2 years 🇨🇦 has relied increasingly on a small base of donors to meet the needs of patients across the country. It’s time to give these healthcare heroes some help and relief. Turn good intentions into action. Become a donor and save lives.
