I am posting this for everyone who is grateful to be at whatever stage of immigration they are and wonders what they can do to make a difference in Canada (or any country). Make the gifts of joining your Provincial Organ Donor Registry and donating blood. As Canada welcomes all cultures the need for donors with multicultural backgrounds increases. Blood Banks get low at holiday times and during the summer so think seriously about spending some of your time instead of money to give someone the gift of life. http://www.lifepassiton.ca/how-to-become-a-donor.html
