St. James Christmas Eve blood donor clinic Canadian Blood Services is holding a blood donation clinic at the St. James Civic Centre (2055 Ness Ave.) on Mon., Dec. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The organization is hoping to fill 75 appointment spaces and is looking for donors with an O-negative blood type to sign up. “While all blood types are needed, O-negative blood is in particular demand by hospitals,” CBS territory manager Steve Raizen said in a statement. “When seconds count and somebody’s life is on the line, there’s no time to check their blood type. In an emergency, all patients can receive O-negative blood.” Since platelets, the property that helps blood clot, only have a shelf life of seven days, Raizen said it’s important for new donations to come through during December so hospitals and emergency services have enough blood to help patients over the holidays.

Fair trade is an initiative that promotes livable wages, decent working conditions and fair prices for farmers and workers in various industries around the world. “Thanks to the hard work of students, teachers and staff at Tec Voc, more farmers and producers will now benefit from a fair price for their products,” said Sean McHugh, executive director of the Canadian Fair Trade Network.
