National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month (NOTDAM)
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.
Saskatchewan has launched an organ and tissue donor registry. Visit www.givelifesask.ca to register your decision.
Registering your decision indicates your willingness to donate. However, donation is only possible with the consent of your next of kin. This is why it is so important to talk to your family about your decision to donate.
Steps you can take today
Take these steps to become an organ donor:
- Visit www.givelifesask.ca to register your decision
- Talk to your family about your decision to be a donor, so they can support your wishes.
Donating organs or tissues, whether living or deceased, is a life-changing gift. To learn more about how three Saskatchewan families were positively impacted by receiving these most precious gifts, please listen to their stories.
