Canadian Blood Services hosting 3 upcoming local clinics as they face decade low donations

Canadian Blood Services is urgently calling for donations as they struggle with the smallest donor base in a decade.

There is a blood donation event coming up in Mount Forest July 5th, Owen Sound on July 6th, and Dundalk on July July 9th and Canadian Blood Services says there are appointments available in the evenings, weekends, and long weekend holidays at several donation events across Canada.

Everyone in good health is urged to find a donor centre near you and book now at blood.ca.

There is especially a need for O-negative donors.
