Merritt said people between
60 and 71 are encouraged to
donate if they have given
blood in the past.

The clinic will take one pint
of blood, which is about 450
millilitres or 13.5 fluid ounces,

which can be pr d into
different components such as
red cells, platelets and plas-
ma. The Red Cross must col-
lect about 600 units of blood
every business day to meet the
needs of patients throughout
B.C., Meritt said.

“There’s a constant need,”
Merritt said. “Half of the dai-

ly requi comes through
rotating clinics, and half
through the full-time clinic in
Vancouver.”

The donation process takes
about seven to 10 minutes, but
donors should allow about 50
minutes to complete the pro-
cess from registration to re-
freshments afterward, he said.
