A blood donor clinic is taking place today (April 28) in Dresden.

The clinic will be held in the Dresden Arena banquet hall from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Marisa Gatfield, the local territory manager for the Canadian Blood Services, said every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood.

“We’ve had a harsh winter, and many clinics were cancelled all across Canada,” she said. “We are encouraging everyone to come out and donate.”

Gatfield added on average about one out of two Canadian are eligible to give blood, however last year only 1 in 60 Canadians actually donated.

“We’re looking to close that gap,” she said.

People can book an appointment ahead of time or walk in.

To book, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-DONATE (1-888-236 6283.)
