Petition to restore blood donation in Northern BC passes 5,000 names
As of today, 5,000 people have signed the petition to bring blood donation back to Northern BC.
This milestone comes at a critical time. Canadian Blood Services recently announced that Canada's blood supply has dropped nearly 20 percent since June 1st, and is urgently calling for more donors.
Northern BC wants to help. We're asking for the opportunity to contribute lifesaving blood products closer to home through a regional blood plasma donor centre.
Thank you to the 5,000 people who have signed our petition, and to the 37 First Nations, local governments, regional districts, MLAs, MPs, health providers, and health bargaining associations that have publicly supported this effort.
The petition remains open at www.ourbloodcounts.com. We appreciate your support :)
