Organ Donors Increasing in Fort Frances

The Fort Frances area continues to be one of the top communities in the province when it comes to registered organ donors.

The Trillium Gift of Life Network says 40 per cent of residents have signed up to be donors, a jump of 10 per cent since 2010.

President Ronnie Gavsie says they'd still like to see the number higher.

Last year, over one thousand organ transplants were done in the province, an 11 percent increase from 2011.
