Trillium Gift of Life Network

Religious leaders met at Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) yesterday to mark the United Nation’s World Interfaith Harmony Week. Their goal: to explore ways to deepen and broaden their multi faith outreach to encourage more Ontarians to register their consent to donate organs and tissues.
