Lethbridge woman impacted by blood donations encouraging people to give before Labour Day
LETHBRIDGE – With many blood donors away or busy with summer activities, Labour Day weekend will be a particularly challenging time for Canadian Blood Services to collect blood.
The agency announced that more than 22,000 donors are urgently needed across Canada by Aug. 26.
In a release, Canadian Blood Services state that donations now will help ensure the national blood inventory can meet patient needs for the rest of summer.
Canadian Blood Services’ chief supply chain officer and vice-president of donor relations, Rick Prinzen, says while Canadians enjoy summer pastimes leading up to and during the last long weekend of the season, we’re urging them to add blood donation to their plans.
