BC Transplant

BC Transplant (BCT), established in 1986, directs, delivers or contracts for all organ transplant services across BC.

Transplantation has saved the lives of thousands of British Columbians, yet over 350 are still waiting. As the need for organ transplants increases, many people will not survive the wait. Organ donation saves lives. Consider your decision on organ donation.

BC Transplants online registration process is the first in Canada. Incorporating digital signature technology, it means British Columbians can now register their decision more efficiently using the online donor registration form as a legal and paperless alternative to mailing in forms.

Canadian Red Cross

Earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and forest fires are happening more often within Canada and around the world. The Red Cross must be prepared to effectively respond to natural disasters, and to minimize the impact on families and communities.

The Red Cross completed major upgrades to its Disaster Response Centre. Canadian Direct Insurance proudly sponsors the Family Reunification Centre, which provides volunteers with a confidential workspace where they can reunite families affected by disasters. When not responding to disasters, the Centre provides an area for planning, training, debriefing and research. redcross.ca
