Campbellton-Dalhousie MLA Donald Arseneault has written to Canadian Blood Services about the planned closing of donor clinics here. Addressed to CEO Dr. Graham Sher, the letter requests a year’s delay in ending the Campbellton and Dalhousie clinics. Arseneault calls the decision a ” tremendous disappointment and a total disrespect” to the people of Restigouche, and points out the closest clinic being in Bathurst is too far.
