National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (NOTDAW) raises awareness about the critical need for more donors across the country and encourages Canadians to register their decision and to talk to their loved ones about organ donation.
Every year, National Organ and Tissue and Awareness Donation Week is held during the last full week of April.
