Canadian Blood Services
News Release

*********************

Canadian Blood Services is asking North Bay and area residents to donate blood to help maintain a strong inventory of blood and blood products for hospital patients.

The need for blood in Canada is constant and the fact remains that hospital patients everywhere need blood in all seasons. Hospitals continue to draw on the supply of blood as Canadian patients require treatment regardless of the weather, as they undergo treatment for cancer, surgery, for car accidents and other traumas, and for hundreds of other medical situations that require life-saving blood.

Our next clinic takes place at the Clarion Resort Pinewood Park, 201 Pinewood Park Drive, North Bay.

Wed., Nov. 21st from 12:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 4:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Thurs., Nov. 22nd from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

We need communities to rally together because it takes many donors to help save a life.

To book an appointment, visit us on-line at www.blood.ca or call 1 888 2 DONATE (1 888 236 6283) to help meet the continuing need for blood. If you already have an appointment, thank you, and we urge you to honour it.
