“We’re looking for 85 people to show up that night,” she explains. “We are looking for about 40 more. There are some bookings but we certainly could use some more to fill that clinic.”

You can visit the Canadian Blood Services website and book an appointment to avoid any delays or show up Monday afternoon.

She says it’s important to keep supplies up over the holidays.

“We tend to get less people in our clinics and it’s a tough time to collect blood because people are away doing other activities,” says St Pierre. “And sometimes that is when the blood is needed most.”

If you don’t want to make the trip to Bracebridge there is a clinic coming up in Parry Sound on this Friday from 2:00pm to 7:00pm. You can book your appointment online by clicking here.
