Canadian Blood Services will shut down local clinics

Canadian Blood Services is not going reverse clinic closures in Campbellton and Dalhousie.

Local MLA Donald Arseneault isn’t too happy about that.

He feels that the move is “disrespectful” to an entire region of the province.

Canadian Blood Services spokesman Marc Plante said that the decision to end those mobile blood donor clinics was due to transportation and labour costs.

Chaleur region lobster season

Lobster fishermen in the Chaleur region say the season is off to a slow start because of strong winds and cold water.

Lobster tend to move less when the water is cold, making them not as likely to crawl into fishing traps.

The lobster fishing season for Area 23, closes July 1st.
