Canadian Blood Services is hoping more donors can continue to donate blood at another upcoming event.
Mount Forest will host a blood donation clinic at the Mount Forest Recreation Complex on Tuesday, September 3 from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m.
According to Canadian Blood Services, current donations are "falling short of hospital demand for blood and plasma, which could cause the national supply to dwindle."
The data shared by CBS shows that 1 in 2 Canadians are eligible to give blood, yet only 1 in 76 actually does.
New donors of all blood types are needed but it is particularly vital that people with group O-negative, O-positive or B-negative donate as soon as they can.
To donate, you can book an appointment now by downloading the GiveBlood app, calling 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or booking online at blood.ca.
