In Saskatchewan, adults can indicate their desire to be an organ and tissue donor by placing an orange "organ and tissue donor" sticker on their Saskatchewan health services card.

These stickers are included in each health services card package. A form that comes with the stickers is designed to encourage you to discuss your views on organ and tissue donation with your family, by requiring both you and a family member to sign. It's important that someone in your family know whether or not you want to be an organ and tissue donor since the stickers themselves do not guarantee a donation - that decision is left to your next of kin.

If you need a sticker, call Saskatchewan Health at 1-800-667-7551.
