National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week

National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (NOTDAW) raises awareness about the critical need for more donors across the country and encourages Canadians to register their decision and to talk to their loved ones about organ donation. The year 2017 marked the 20th anniversary of National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. 

In 2019, National Organ and Tissue and Awareness Donation Week will take place April 21-27.

Canadians are reminded to register their intent to donate and to discuss their wishes with family and friends. Visit organtissuedonation.ca to find out how to become an organ donor.
