Mayor Ivan Court is calling it a distraction we don't need -- he's referrng to the Canadian Blood Services decision to close the provincial distribution center here in the city.
Court tells CHSJ News it doesn't make sense with the largest number of blood donations coming from the greater Saint John area and the fact it's basically across the street from the Regional Hospital and the new medical school.
Mayor Court is calling on all businesses and agencies in the Saint John region to speak up against the move -- he's also calling on the federal and provincial governments to step up in support of reversing the decision.
