Organ
Donation

We all know how scary
donating could, or how
confusing it may sound,
but in this pamphlet it
will explain the process
on how to go about
donating an organ or
tissue. Dont be afraid,
well make sure your
always you.

Everyone supports organ donation, but how
many actually donate? 90% of Canadians
support organ/tissue donations, however only
about 25% of people actually plan to donate.
Youre probably asking yourself as to why
more people wouldnt donate, but the
question you could also ask is how come I
havent thought about this before or why
dont I become an organ donator? Good
questions. If youre wondering how its
possibly to become an organ donator on the
next page is the process.

others would agree its a good
idea because donating could
save up to 50 lives.

they just dont know how to
register. Or its a big
