Canada's Largest City Recognizes Phlebotomy Technicians! Thank you to Her Worship Mayor Olivia Chow !
The Canadian Phlebotomy Technicians Group Inc. (CPTG) is incredibly proud to announce that the City of Toronto has officially proclaimed June 22–26, 2026, as National Phlebotomy Technicians Recognition Week.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Mayor Olivia Chow and Toronto City Council for recognizing the indispensable role Phlebotomy Technicians play in protecting and improving the health of our communities.
This proclamation highlights the essential work performed by Phlebotomy Technicians every day—from collecting and processing blood specimens that support accurate diagnosis and treatment, to contributing to blood donation services, transfusion medicine, research, and patient care across hospitals, clinics, and laboratories.
As healthcare professionals, Phlebotomy Technicians are often among the first people patients encounter during their care journey. Their skill, precision, compassion, and professionalism help ensure safe specimen collection while providing comfort and confidence to those they serve.
The City of Toronto's recognition is another significant milestone in our mission to elevate the profession and increase public awareness of the critical contributions Phlebotomy Technicians make to Canada's healthcare system.
To every Phlebotomy Technician in Toronto and across Canada—this proclamation celebrates your dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to patient care. Your work makes a lasting impact every single day.
Thank you, Mayor Olivia Chow and the City of Toronto, for standing with Canada's Phlebotomy Technicians and helping advance recognition of this essential healthcare profession.
Together, we continue to strengthen our profession, inspire future healthcare professionals, and celebrate the individuals whose work is truly at the heart of patient care.
