Contacting Alberta’s MLAs
THANK YOU to everyone who wrote letters to their MLAs asking them to prioritize organ and tissue donation and transplantation in Alberta. We did this together!
Following the passing of Bill 205, we've been collaborating with community advocates and stakeholders to ensure the government's development and implementation of regulations to strengthen Alberta's ODTD system. We are specifically asking for the Alberta Government to invest funds to strengthen processes and develop a pan-Albertan ODTD system.
The Alberta Government is currently engaging in budget consultations, and it has been emphasized that your letters will help draw attention to the necessary funding for OTDT. It is crucial that you promptly send emails to the Minister of Health and your MLA to allocate resources towards establishing a robust Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation (OTDT) system.
Please download the letter below (add your personal story if you wish) and send it tp email Health Minister Adriana LaGrange at Health.Minister@Gov.ab.ca and YOUR MLA, and CC Rachel.Notley@Assembly.ab.ca, Premier@gov.ab.ca, and Info.Nabt@Kidney.ca.
We also encourage you to download the Alberta MLA email contact list copy all MLAs. Let's flood Alberta's MLAs officials with letters urging them to prioritize organ & tissue donation. It's time for More Transplants. Not sure who your MLA is? Visit https://www.assembly.ab.ca/members/members-of-the-legislative-assembly and enter your postal code to confirm your local MLA.
BILL 205 PRESS CONFERENCE: https://fb.watch/dHjU2Pu2jE/
UPDATE: On Tuesday, May 31, Bill 205, the Human Tissue and Organ Donation (Mandatory Referral) Amendment Act, 2022, received Royal Assent. Sponsored by MLA RJ Sigurdson (Highwood), Bill 205 legislated Mandatory Referral within Alberta's donation and transplantation system. This is a foundational step towards modernizing Alberta's system as mandatory referral is a leading best practice because it supports the timely identification, referral, and assessment of a potential donor and is a tool used by global leaders.
