Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is urging county residents to step up to the challenge of maintaining the blood supply during the winter months.
“Collecting blood during the colder winter months can be challenging because the weather can increasingly keep people indoors and many donors are away for the season,” CBS officials state in a Feb. 8 press release.
CBS is encouraging Wellington County residents to “give life” by donating blood at upcoming clinics.
The next local clinics are:
– in Mount Forest on March 6 from 3 to 8pm at the Mount Forest and District Recreation Complex;
– Palmerston on March 15 from 5 to 8pm at the Palmerston Community Centre;
– Drayton on March 26 from 3:30 to 7:30pm at Community Christian School; and
– Elora on April 5 from 3 to 7pm at the Elora Community Centre.
