Help IUOE Local 955 Save Lives!
The IUOE has joined Canadian Blood Services’ Partners for Life program. As a member, we have pledged to give blood year round.
BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT TO DONATE
Call 1 888 2 DONATE to find a clinic near you, and to book your appointment.
There are four permanent blood donor clinics in Alberta:
Edmonton: 8249 – 114 Street
Calgary: 737 – 13 Ave SW
Red Deer: #5, 5020 – 68 Street
Lethbridge: Second Level, Lethbridge Centre (220, 200 – 4 Ave South)
Mobile clinics are also held in Edmonton, Calgary,
and in select rural communities. Visit www.blood.ca to find a clinic.
When you visit a clinic, just let them know you are donating on behalf of the I.U.O.E.
Once you let Canadian Blood Services know that you are giving on behalf of I.U.O.E., all of your future donations will automatically be counted towards Local 955’s total for the year.
Friends and family are also invited to donate on behalf of our team.

Pipeline – D&A Testing
Many of the Pipeline Owning Companies have Implemented policies on Pre Employment and or Post Incident D&A testing. All future Enbridge Pipeline jobs will require Pre Employment D&A testing. It is expected that other companies will follow this trend. As such our Pipeline Contractors have done the same.
O.J. Pipelines (Pembina) this winter in Slave Lake will require Pre Employment testing.
Louisbourg clean up in Red Earth and new construction work south of Grande Prairie, will require pre-employment and Post Incident.
All future Trans Canada work will require pre-employment testing.
It is best that all members are aware of these changes and be prepared for future dispatches. Failure of a Pre Employment or Post Incident will delay eligibility for future dispatch. The industry is changing. We must be ready.
