Héma-Québec and the Canadian Hemophilia Society Remember… and Turn a Watchful Eye to the Future
In 2007, the Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS) has launched a program to commemorate the tainted blood tragedy... lest we forget.
As part of this initiative, a commemorative Tree of Life will be planted today at Héma-Québec’s Montréal establishment, in the presence of the Québec Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Yves Bolduc, and representatives of the national and Québec offices of the Canadian Hemophilia Society.
Today’s celebration coincides with Héma-Québec’s tenth anniversary, after taking over from the Red Cross and becoming the organization charged with managing the blood supply in Québec on September 28, 1998.

The plaque reads:
Cet arbre ce veut un monument vivant
à la mémoire des milliers
de personnes décédées au Canada
lors de la tragédie du sang contaminé.
Que leur peine et leur douleur
n'aient pas été vaines.
