Canadian Blood Services sas their appointment bookings are falling short of hospital demand for blood and plasma. The impact is that it could cause the national supply to dwindle. They says hospital have the blood they need today but that could change if appointments aren’t filled.

Earlier this week there were 183 open appointments to fill at the location at 1206 Emerson Ave in Saskatoon. The donor centre in Saskatoon is open this weekend. CBS says one in 2 Canadians are eligible to give blood, yet only 1 in 76 actually does.
