Ron Bridgeman gave the “gift of life” during the first day of Canadian Blood Services’ two-day fall donor clinic last Wednesday at Fort Frances High School. The clinic saw a total of 371 donors come out and give 331 units of blood, surpassing the two-day donor and unit quota by 38 and 16 respectively. In addition, 51 donors this year had never given blood before. —Duane Hicks photo
