Such an important civic responsibility for those who can and want to give, be it plasma or whole blood. I think that before they increase the number of collection centres, they should look at opening up more often for longer hours...at least here in Halifax. Their main collection site is only open 24 hours: strange hours that do not correspond to donors' needs. I do not know how many times I have gone done on Friday afternoon to see the clinic closed. Concentrate on customer service to increase the number of people and plasma donations will come.
