Canadian Blood Services is looking for local donors

The Canadian Blood Services Clinic is holding a blood drive in Parry Sound.

CBS will be in Parry Sound this Friday from 2:00pm until 7:00pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

Territory Manager for Canadian Blood Services Elaine St. Pierre says the clinic is looking to collect 96 units of all blood types.

“We generally need to book two people for every unit of blood, so we need 50 more people to come out to Friday’s clinic….We have the ability to break the blood down and give platelets to someone, or even plasma or red blood cells. Sometimes it takes many donors to save one patient,” says St. Pierre.
