Our story
Born from crisis, our early years were about establishing trust in Canada's blood system, and earning the privilege of being a lifeline for patients. Our brand served us well.
Today, Canadians expect more. To remain relevant, we must adapt, evolve, improve and apply even greater focus to patient needs. We must increase participation in our systems and expand awareness of our work in blood, plasma, stem cells, and organs and tissues. We must demonstrate to all Canadians that we are keeping pace with these changing times.
As we renew our brand promise, we must make a connection that is infinitely stronger today, because it will give patients who need it, the real possibility of a stronger tomorrow.

Public committees
We recognize the importance of building productive relationships with stakeholders and governments across Canada’s interrelated health systems.
Our role in Canadian health care has grown beyond blood: today, we focus on life essentials for transfusion and transplantation, including blood, plasma, stem cells, and organs and tissues. Check out A Promise for Life, our latest annual report, for highlights from the past year.
Governance
We function as an independent, not-for-profit organization that operates at arm’s length from government, governed and guided by the principles of accountability, engagement and transparency.
