It takes just one organ donor to save up to eight lives yet, every three days, someone dies waiting for a life-saving transplant in Ontario.

Which is why we recognize April as Be A Donor month.


In April, we encourage everyone who has not yet registered consent for organ and tissue donation to do so. To register, visit beadonor.ca. In just two minutes, the time it takes to register, you will give hope to more than 1,600 Ontarians waiting for a lifesaving transplant.
