Save a Life, Give Blood

It's giving a gift that doesn't cost you anything.

The Canadian Blood Services says they need as much help as they can get, because this is a tough time of the year to get blood donations.

The CBS will be holding a blood donor clinic at the Fundy High School tomorrow in St. George, between 1:30 and 4pm, and 5:30 till 7:30pm.

For more information call 1-888-2-DONATE.

Or visit their website at www.blood.ca.

More VLT's in New Brunswick?

Local listeners giving their opinion on our Facebook Page.

We received mixed reviews of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation wanting to install up to 75 more video lottery terminals -- or VLT's -- in our province.

One woman said it wasn't fair to blame the VLT's, comparing the act to blaming bars because people are alcoholics.

However almost 84% of the comments expressed negativity towards the decision, with comments such as "dislike" and "Ridiculous".

According to ALC's latest annual report..... New Brunswick made $91 million from vlt's in 2010-2011 _ down from $100 million the year before.
