Laval is throwing its support behind the campaign to increase organ donation awareness as part of National Organ and Tissue Donation Week.
All this week, Laval city hall will be illuminated in green, the color of the ribbon that represents the cause, and Mayor Marc Demers made a symbolic gesture by raising the flag in the image of the green ribbon at city hall.
In the pandemic context, organ donation is more important than ever, as it is a concrete life-saving measure: just one organ donation can save up to eight lives and can vastly improve the health of up to 20 people.
