OBA partnering with Trillium Gift of Life Network

The Ontario Bar Association’s partnership with the Trillium Gift of Life Network in support of organ donation was noted in a story in the Waterloo Region Record.

The story notes that one organ donor can help save up to eight lives, while people who donate tissue, which includes skin, eyes, bone and heart valves, can "enhance" up to 75 lives.

The OBA has launched Make A Power Of Attorney Month in tandem with, and in support of, Be A Donor Month.

"Make sure that you register and that your family knows what you want to happen," said Pascale Daigneault, president of the Ontario Bar Association.
