Message from CEO

Trillium Gift of Life Network is Ontario ’s organ and tissue donation agency. With our partners – the Ontario government, our world renowned medical teams and scientific researchers, with our nurses, other health care professionals and volunteers – we work to increase organ and tissue donation across the province. One organ donor can save the life of up to eight people and through tissue donation, enhance the lives of 75 others.

Today, Ontario faces an urgent challenge. The list of people waiting for a lifesaving or transforming transplant is too long and one person on that list dies every three days.  I’m glad you are here. Look through our website. Read the stories and see for yourself: organ and tissue donation saves and transforms lives.

I ask that every eligible person in Ontario register consent to be an organ and tissue donor and discuss that choice with your family. Working with Ontario ’s world-class hospitals, we have the skills and the knowledge…but we need you. If you have not already registered your consent to organ and tissue donation, everything you need to make an informed decision is just a click away. You are here, right now. Don’t leave. Click on beadonor.ca below. Register “Yes.”

I have registered “yes” for you and your family. Please do it for me and mine.
