WEST REGION BLOOD DRIVE
The West Region has been conducting a blood drive for the last six
months, encouraging staff to donate to the blood clinics in their
area. The uptake was great, with 26,100 ml of blood collected overall,
equating to 58 people taking time out of their busy schedules to give
back to someone in need. A special thanks goes to our Swift Current
Market Centre, which donated
16,200 ml of blood. A big
thanks to those who organized
this great initiative and to
