Shortage Of Blood Possible

Canadian Blood Services is warning of a "concerning'' shortage of blood this summer.

It cites fewer donations this summer and a constant demand from hospitals as reasons.

It says more than 50-thousand donations are needed between now and Labour Day to keep blood inventories at "an acceptable level.''

Blood donor clinics planned for later this month in Fort Frances where the CBS hopes for 240 donations.
