There is an urgent need for donors.
That’s the word from Canadian Blood Services and representatives say the Labour Day weekend will be a particularly challenging time to collect blood.
With many blood donors away or busy with summer activities, it is crucial that donations are made now to help ensure the national blood inventory can meet patient needs for the rest of summer.
Canadian Blood Services says more than 22,000 donors are needed nationwide by August 26 and you can help make a difference by signing up to give the gift of life.
There is a clinic being held at the Elks Lodge Wednesday with various appointment times throughout the day and early evening available to be filled.
Canadian Blood Services says making an appointment to donate has never been easier.
Visit blood.ca, download the GiveBlood app or call 1-888-2-DONATE to find a nearby donation site.
Walk-in appointments are also available at all locations.
