Donate blood
On Wednesday, the Bell Centre will host the 41st annual Canadiens Blood Drive, in partnership with Héma-Québec, between 8:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Throughout the day, players, coaches, Youppi! and Canadiens Alumni, will be on hand to thank fans for their generosity. Each donor will also receive a gift bag containing several Canadiens items. Most adults in good health can give blood and help save up to three lives. Those wishing to roll up their sleeves can make an appointment by visiting
jedonne.hema-quebec.qc.ca
or by calling 1-800-343-7264. Reserving your time slot in advance is strongly recommended. Walk-ins will also be accommodated if space allows. Donors can access the Bell Centre via the main entrance located at 1909 avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal.
