Faites Passer le Message.

Every year, more than 2,000 people in Ontario have their lives saved or enhanced through organs and tissue donations. People have their sight restored, their hearts and lungs mended, their organs revitalized and their mobility improved through the generosity of others. While organ and tissue donation is available to all ages, donations do not meet the urgent demand, with less than 25% of Ontarians registered. With the help of transplants, those affected can get back to healthy and productive lives with their families and our communities. I urge you to consider registering your consent to become an organ and tissue donor. In making this choice, you can help save the lives of up to 8 people and improve the lives of 75 more. A signed donor card does not mean you are registered. To check your status or to register for the first time visit your local ServiceOntario office or click the link above.
