National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (April 21 – 27) celebrates organ and tissue donation and raises awareness about the critical need for more donors across the country. Registering as a donor means that, one day, you may save many lives, like Alexandre Thibeault, whose tragic death in 2020 helped save the lives of five other Canadians.
