Westgate students form living green ribbon


High school students in the city are promoting organ and tissue donations. At Westgate Collegiate students formed a human green ribbon. Lisa Cashin of the local Kidney Foundation says the campaign in Thunder Bay appears to be working. She says 38 per cent of the population here has consented to donate their organs at the time of death. Cashin says while that rate is high for the province, she believes it could be better.
