PEACHLAND BEACH RUN GOES VIRTUAL

Celebrate Canada Day by pushing your limits with a virtual race. Peachland Recreation has teamed up with the Epic Canadian to offer a fun opportunity to challenge yourself and support great Canadian charities. Connect across communities, across the province, and across the entire country for Canada's 153rd birthday - even if we can't all be in the same space at one time! Click here for more information.

BOOK A DONATION

The need for blood is constant. Donated blood lasts no longer than 42 days. Platelets, a component of blood, have a shelf life of only seven days. Current evidence indicates COVID-19 is not transmitted by blood or blood products. If you are in good overall health and meet our eligibility criteria, please book and keep your appointment to give blood.

At this time, we can only welcome people with appointments. This is in compliance with public health authorities’ requests to practice healthy physical distancing. Book your appointment at blood.ca, on the GiveBlood app, or by calling 1.888.2.DONATE.
