Canadian Blood Services Seeking Donors Following Storm

Agency reporting a shortage of platelets and O-negative blood

Canadian Blood Services is asking you to roll up your sleeves. 

The agency says there has been a spike in appointment cancellations due to winter storms hitting the country. 

As a result, about 1,500 blood and plasma donations didn't happen, which is about 10 percent of the amount that was expected. 

The organization says there is a critical need for platelets, as well as O-negative blood.
