Canadian Blood Services will be holding more blood donation events in Midwestern Ontario to start and end July.
There will be a pair of blood donation clinics in Mount Forest. One will be on Canada Day from noon until 5 p.m. and another on July 29 from 2-7 p.m. at the Mount Forest Recreation Complex.
Owen Sound will also see two clinics. One will go on July 2 and the other on July 30, with both running from 2-7 p.m. at the Owen Sound Legion.
According to Canadian Blood Services, only 2 per cent of eligible people in Canada donate blood, so the organization has set its most ambitious goal ever: to recruit 1 million new donors in the next 5 years.
