Donation to be made in honour of Guelph’s Lloyd Longfield
Guelph, ON, March 20, 2020. . . With the Guelph Storm season currently on pause, in lieu of the scheduled game on March 20, Canada Life will donate $1,000 to Canadian Blood Services in honour of Lloyd Longfield, a local milestone blood donor.
“Every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood,” said Jeff Macoun, President and Chief Operating Officer, Canada, Canada Life. “We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with Canadian Blood Services and although the Canadian Hockey League season is paused until further notice, we wanted to make a meaningful contribution to a cause that this hockey community cares about so deeply.”

In 2015, Canada Life made a national commitment to support Canadian Blood Services and Hema Quebec Donor Services by officially joining the Partners for Life program. The company is also a founding national sponsor of the NextGen Lifeline program. In 2019, Canada Life extended their support for Canadian Blood Services by partnering with them for select Canadian Hockey League Game Nights in communities across the country.
