As the leaves start turning and the air becomes crisper, we are reminded that fall has arrived. It's a season of change, transformation, and a celebration of the simple joys that give our lives meaning and make this time of year so special.

In the spirit of gratitude and giving, we invite you to explore stories of living donors, learn more about their impact, and consider how you too can be a part of this remarkable journey. 

This month, let's be inspired by the generosity that surrounds us and find ways to spread kindness, give thanks and pay it forward.

Come along with us to support patients, families and donors and bring hope to those still waiting.

Let's all be part of their future

Great Actions Leave a Mark is a public awareness campaign that celebrates the gift of life through living organ donation. The campaign was launched by the Ajmera Transplant Centre at the University Health Network (UHN), in collaboration with creative partner, YE.Agency, BC Transplant and Canadian Blood Services. It has since expanded to include MOTP Atlantic (image) and coming soon, Saskatchewan Health Authority. Stay tuned!

Join the Orgamites in celebrating Orgtober – organ donation education month! By highlighting the importance of organ donation, and by encouraging more people to consider registering as organ donors, we hope to create a worldwide movement that will impact generations to come and save countless lives too. By engaging children and their families in these activities, Orgtober aims to increase multi-generational knowledge and understanding about organ donation while inspiring young people to take action and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Download free Orgtober posters at https://orgamites.ca/downloads/ and visit https://learn.organtissuedonation.ca/ for more free resources.
