Canadians are being asked to "spring into action" by Canadian Blood Services.
It is reminding the public that the need for blood, plasma, and platelet donations is still there.
Specifically, there is a need for rare blood types and O-negative blood.
"O-negative blood donors play a critical role in our blood system," the organization said in a statement to the media. "As the universal donor, O-negative blood donors play a critical role in any blood system because you can save any patient in need of blood."
If you're looking to donate, two donation clinics are coming to the area.
On May 9, you can donate at the Mount Forest Recreation Complex from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. On May 31, it can be done at the Owen Sound Legion from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
