“With everyone on vacation or busy with family activities, it is even more of a challenge to maintain the blood system during the summer months,” said the Canadian Blood Services on its website.
The campaign is currently in place until Sept. 4.
Chief Bill Blair, Deputy Fire Chief Mike McCoy and Deputy Emergency Medical Services Chief Frank Hurlehey will introduce Sammy Sirbos, the daughter of a police officer, who received life-saving blood at a press conference Monday morning to talk about the initiative.
