What backs it

Manitoba recorded 75,000 people registered to donate organs as of the end of August 2026—the highest number since the online registry launched over a decade ago—nearly doubling the count since 2018, with growth of about 23,000 in the last five years. Two organ transplant recipients, brothers Paul and Adrian Meilleur, are advocating for further expansion of the registry to save more lives.

Worth noting

Only 6 per cent of eligible Manitobans are currently enrolled; the article notes substantial further growth is needed.
