Canadian Blood Services is appealing to all eligible donors to make a blood donation immediately as Canada’s blood inventory is critically low. All blood types are needed, and in particular type O and A. Extremely low attendance at blood donor clinics across Canada, combined with the constant need for blood has caused the national inventory to be used faster than it can be replenished. This has created the lowest national blood inventory since 2008. The ideal level of inventory for blood products is enough for five to eight days, but the Canadian Blood Services will soon have less than three days’ worth on hand. To book an appointment today, download the GiveBlood app visit blood.ca, or call 1 888 2 DONATE (1 888 236 6283). There is a Blood Donor Clinic today at the Bancroft Legion starting at 12:30. Drop-ins are welcome.
