Blood Donor Clinics in Fort Frances

Another blood donor clinic is set for this week in Fort Frances.

The clinics at the Fort Frances High School run from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. today and 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Canadian Blood Services spokesperson Michael Hyduk says there's a critical need for blood across the country, especially for some particular blood types.

"Right now we're seeing a shortage across the country in Type 'O' blood and Type 'AB' blood," says Hyduk. "We're looking to get donors through the doors and help boost supplies with those particular types."

Hyduk says they're hoping for at least 300 donors over the course of the two days.
