NOTDAM is an annual campaign, which encourages Canadians to consider becoming organ donors.
This year, National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month (NOTDAM) takes place during the month of April. NOTDAM encourages Canadians to have important conversations with their friends and loved ones about their decision to donate to ensure that each of our organ donation wishes and decisions are understood.
