The Saint John Board of Trade is backing the push to keep the blood distribution center here in Saint John. As you’ve heard, Canadian Blood Services has a proposal on the table to move the center out of Millidgeville and down to Dartmouth. President Imelda Gilman tells CHSJ News, from a business perspective, keeping the center in Saint John is a solid decision.
Premier Graham has told CBS officials the Province is willing to pick up the cost of an expansion at the current facility in Millidgeville. CBS says it will meet with the Health Minister next month to discuss the proposal.
