Church hosting blood donor clinic

A blood donor clinic will be held at the Innisfil Community Church Feb. 21.

Canadian Blood Services is asking you to start a new Family Day tradition this February at your community blood donor clinic. Family Day, on Feb. 18, is the new statutory holiday announced last year for the province of Ontario.

Jennifer Mayhew, clinic recruitment coordinator with Canadian Blood Services says, "Canadian Blood Services is asking you to embrace blood donation, so others can benefit from your family's health and vitality. Families can donate in honour of loved ones, making the experience even more meaningful."

Three out of four Canadians say they think donating blood is a good idea. Call 1-888-236-6283 to book an appointment, and check eligibility requirements.
