After the sad tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos almost 1 week ago, there has been a substantial increase in organ and tissue donors in the province of Alberta and across Canada.

According to the Canadian Transplant Society, over 1600 people are added to the organ wait list each year.  If 1 person donates their organs or tissues, up to 75 people 8 lives can be saved.
