Online registration for organ & tissue donation now available

It’s never been easier to register to become an organ donor.

Ontarians can now register to become organ and tissue donors online at beadonor.ca. The provincial government and the Trillium Gift of Life Network are set to officially launch the new site Tuesday.

Anyone 16 years and older who has a valid Ontario Health number can give their consent online — a quick process that makes your wishes known and that information is available when or if it’s ever required.

You need to register even if you’ve signed a donor card, because a signed card isn’t recorded in the Ministry of Health’s database and may not be available when it’s needed.

Donors can still register by downloading a form and mailing it in, or by visiting a Service Ontario centre.

There are approximately 1,500 people waiting for organ and tissue donations in Ontario.
