Armstrong challenges residents to give blood

The City of Armstrong is asking its residents to give blood for the good of everyone.

The next blood donar clinic in the city will be at the St. Joseph’s Church on Sept. 19, and city council members and staff are challenging citizens to fill every appointment.

“Everyone knows someone who may have been in need or may be affected by a need for Blood Services. Canadian Blood Services is providing an important service to our community and participating in blood drives or donor clinics such as this is necessary for the consistency of the service in Armstrong,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.

Pieper said council and staff will be filling at least 20 appointments to donate.
