Dear Editor:
RE: Rockwood man celebrates 100th blood donation, June 12.
Last week the Advertiser ran a front page story congratulating Rockwood resident Andrew Vince for donating his 100th blood donation to Canadian Blood Services in Guelph.
I would like to celebrate Vince’s donation and encourage others to follow his lead. It is an important contribution to the health of our fellow citizens.
I would, however, encourage the Advertiser to look deeper into the story. There are many citizens in the Guelph area who have donated more than 200 times to Canadian Blood Services and they deserve as much or more coverage.
I would expect a front page story about those donors in the next few weeks. In addition, the story should deal with the number of blood donor clinics closed by Blood Service Canada since the pandemic, including Erin.
Jay Mowat,
