Health Minister Mary Schryer is remaining optimistic in the battle to keep the Canadian Blood Services distribution center here in the city.
Schryer says she went to the annual meeting of the agency last week to register her objection to the proposed move to Halifax -- and -- now the chair of the agency is coming for another meeting next month.
Top officials from Canadian Blood Services met with a legislature committee over the summer and indicated nothing had changed their minds as far as the consolidation of distribution services is concerned.
