Organ Donations

There's a strong willingness by northerners to sign organ-donor registrations.

An analysis by the Toronto Star says about 30 per cent of Fort Frances residents registered consent for organ and tissue donation.

In communities west of the town, 17 per cent of residents have signed the donor registry, while it's 37 per cent in Kenora and 29 per cent in Dryden.

The Trillium Gift of Life Network says 90 per cent of Ontarians say they support organ donation -- yet only 17 per cent have registered their intent to donate.
