The group wants a blood production lab to remain in Saint John and serve the province no matter who runs it.
Mayor Ivan Court says if the consolidation plan moves forward, this province and PEI would be the only two in the country without a blood production centre.
Court says it's sad that if the CBS move goes ahead, blood donated here will be shipped to Nova Scotia and if we need it, it must be imported back. He says it doesn't make sense.
Donor Brian Duplessis wants to know his time in the chair donating blood will be used for the good. He says he's not a masochist or a sadist but, it's his way of helping the health care system without spending a penny.
Health Minister Madeline Dube says a decision on the future of blood production in the province will be made in a few weeks.
