Two local politicians are asking the public to roll up their sleeves.
Windsor-Tecumseh MP Cheryl Hardcastle along with Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Percy Hatfield will be at the Windsor blood donor clinic today from 3pm until 7pm.
Hatfield says they will be there encouraging people to give blood.
He says he use to give blood on a regular basis but due to health reasons he had to stop.
Hatfield says it's an important initiative.
"It really is the gift of life blood and if we can give blood, give the gift of life to someone else, if we're able to do it why not," says Hatfield.
The Windsor Canadian Blood Services Blood Donor Clinic is located at 3909 Grand Marais Road East.
