Future of Blood Distribution Center

This week could lift some of the cloud of mystery that hovers around the future of the blood distribution center in Saint John. Canadian Blood Services officials will be at the center on Thursday for a news conference. They will provide an update on the status of the Atlantic portion of the National Facilities Redevelopment Project.


CBS announced back in the spring they wanted to re-locate the blood center to Dartmouth which was met with a fire-storm of opposistion from workers to the Graham Government. In recent weeks, Premier Graham has offered a blank cheque to CBS for any renovation work that needs to be done at the current facility in Millidgeville with the stipulation the center stays in Saint John.
