Being an organ donor means that you are willing to give a very special gift to someone you have never met.

This gift will either save a person’s life or significantly improve a person’s life.

First, indicate your preference to be a donor when you go to renew your driver’s licence at an Alberta Registries office.

Second, Google something like Alberta organ donor registry. Likely the first thing to come up will be the Alberta organ and tissue donation registry page. All you’ll need is your Alberta Health number.

Other people may even wish to donate their bodies for scientific research or to
assist with the education of medical students.
