National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week - Zachary's Story

It's National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. One organ donor can save up to eight lives, and a tissue donor can save or dramatically improve lives for up to 75 people. While Alberta marked another record year - with 273 organ and tissue donors in 2023 - there are almost 300 people waiting for life-saving transplants in our province. Last year, nearly 50 people on the waitlist died.
Albertans can register their intent to donate online at GiveLifeAlberta.ca or in person at a motor vehicle registry office. Please tell loved ones about your decision.
