These are the Boulets. Their son Logan was an organ donor, and saved six lives. It takes two minutes to save a life (or six) like Logan did. Register as an organ donor at taketwominutes.ca. Learn more at greenshirtday.ca. @GreenShirtDay #TakeTwoMinutes

This is Griffin. They’re a registered organ donor. “Knowing I could help save or improve someone’s life resonates with me deeply,” they say. registeryourdecision.ca

We know it can be hard to start that letter to your donor family or recipient(s), we're here to support you. Reach out to us via DM or email if you’d like more support or someone to talk to about the process. We are here for you.

Earlier this year, we launched a new CRA initiative to help more people learn about organ donation and transplant. About one million of you said yes to learning more and now 16,000 chose to register your decision. That is incredible! Thank you, you’re the best.

It was nice afternoon with the entire BCT team as we gathered to celebrate and acknowledge all that we have done to support organ donation and transplant this year. The team at BCT wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season filled with lots of love, joy, warm hugs and drinks. 💚

It’s our favourite time of year! This week, we celebrate the compassion, dedication, and life-changing care behind more than 6,000 transplant journeys in our province. Plus 14, 500 who said yes to organ donation and transplant by registering your decision. #OperationPopcorn2025

It’s the donation of your cornea(s), the clear part on the front of the eye, and/or the sclera, the white part of your eyes. A cornea transplant can restore sight to those who are blind. Register to be an organ donor at registeryourdecision.ca #NovemberisEyeDonationMonth

This is a question we all quietly ask ourselves, so let’s hear the truth! No, the iris is never recovered. A whole eye is never transplanted. This isn’t the case. With eye donation, the cornea and/or sclera can be donated only. registeryourdecision.ca

Great news, BC! Nearly 1M British Columbians checked “yes” to learn more about organ donation while filing taxes - an incredible first year partnering with the CRA! Check your inbox and make it official: registeryourdecision.ca💚

We give thanks not only for the blessings in our own lives but for the incredible gift of life given by organ donors and their families. Heart recipient, Naomi is grateful for her second chance at life and now she gets to be a nurse. Happy Thanksgiving!

Jen, mother of Connor, an organ donor, shares a deeply personal perspective on loss and hope. In the most difficult moment of her life, through the pain of saying goodbye, she found a glimmer of light in the gift of organ donation.

With ICU staff busier than ever providing critical care to patients, BCT's new electronic donor referral process called “iReferral” simplifies the organ donor referral process and is already seeing significant results in the launch phase. Full story on our website. @Infoway

School is starting today, and we have many excited children who are transplant recipients ready for their next year at elementary school, high school or post-secondary. All thanks to an organ donor and their family. ow.ly/1n4Y50WPLrK

With summer coming to an end, everyone is trying to fit in special moments like time with loved ones, sunsets, and longer evenings. Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful. Organ donation is a similar concept - difficult endings with the silver lining of beauty and hope.

Did you know? The priority of all healthcare professionals is always to save life. In Canada, organ donation is never considered until all lifesaving efforts have been exhausted and after doctors confirm that a person has passed away. Learn more now at 7facts.ca

Doctors always prioritize saving your life, organ donation is only considered after all life-saving efforts have been made. Two doctors not involved in transplant must declare death before organ donation can proceed. Let‘s spread the truth and encourage more people to register!

BCT was at the Vancouver Folk Festival last weekend! We took this opportunity to increase exposure at a new event over the course of three days as it was our first time at a music festival! All smiles for this fun event to raise awareness for organ donation and transplant!
