Canadian Blood Services on the need for blood donors and Country Thunder Saskatchewan is set to kick off.

Here’s your morning rewind for the Monday, July 10, edition of Global News Morning Saskatoon.

The need for blood donors remains high during the summer

It’s a simple gesture, but it could save a life — people are being asked to take a few minutes in the coming days to give blood.

Canadian Blood Services said there is an urgent need for donors as the summer months tend to be slower for donations.

Lisa Beechinor, territory manager for blood relations and collections, explains the difference a donation can make and how people can book an appointment.
