Hema Quebec Blood Donor Clinic This is an important event at QHS. It helps Hema Quebec in collecting the necessary blood donations, but what is more important is that it creates awareness to the need and it creates our future donors. Each year the clinics are run by students that are too young to donate themselves. At every clinic, we have Alumni stopping by to donate blood and encourage our students by letting them know that they once were a part of the student volunteer team running the clinic! Terry Fox Run QHS has been a long-time supporter of the Terry Fox Run. Over the past 15 years we have donated over a $100,000 to help fund cancer research. Each year we have a 90% participation rate. Six years ago, Terry’s brother, Doug came to speak and encourage and thank our students.
Jeffrey Hale Community Partners Christmas Hamper Campaign The hamper campaign is one of our largest projects at Quebec High School. There are two avenues to the campaign. One is the collecting of non-perishable food items. The second is the raising of money. Each year, the campaign that has a community committee made up of 14 individuals and organizations, meets in the early fall to plan the campaign. A yearly budget has risen to $50K to help pay for the fresh meat, fruit and vegetables that gets purchased. This amount and the food collected helps feed over 225 families within the English-speaking community.
