The Town of Orangeville is helping to bring attention and awareness to the need for organ and tissue donor registrations in Ontario.
Currently, over 1,600 Ontarians are on the wait list.
Although research shows most Ontarians support organ and tissue donation, only 35% of eligible Ontarians have registered their consent to donate.
Just one organ donor can save up to 8 lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through the gift of tissue.
On Thursday afternoon, Town of Orangeville Council proclaimed April as BeADonor Month.
