Milligan Issues Organ Donation Challenge

Northumberland News
COBOURG – As part of his ongoing campaign to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation registration, Northumberland – Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan has issued:

“THE NORTHUMBERLAND – QUINTE WEST ORGAN DONATION REGISTRY CHALLENGE”

Last week, the official registry for organ donations in the province, the Trillium Gift of Life Registry, (www.giftoflife.on.ca) published a chart showing the rate of registrations in municipalities across the province. The chart, which can be found at https://beadonor.ca/communities, shows that approximately 25% of all eligible adults in the riding have already registered as organ donors and this puts us at the mid-point of municipalities in Ontario. There are three communities in the north, Hanmer, Lively and Garson, that have registration rates of 49%, while, at the other end of the scale, there are parts of the City of Toronto with registration rates below 10%.

“As Organ Donation Awareness Week comes to an end, I’d want to do something that will keep building on the various speeches and special events that have been held this week”, said MPP Milligan. “I’ll provide updates, via my website, www.robmilliganmpp.com, as to how our riding is progressing, in the weeks and months to come”.
