The new clinic, located at 1206 Emerson Ave. just off 8th Street, started accepting platelet donations Saturday and will start with full blood donations on Tuesday, July 5. The existing downtown clinic closed its doors at the end of June.
One of the benefits both donors and staff are quick to point out is the easy access to parking at the new location.
Anyone who wants to book an appointment can visit the Canadian Blood Services website.
Hours of operation at the new clinic will be as follows:
- Tuesday 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- Wednesday 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
- Thursday 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
- Friday 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- Saturday 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
