SHORT DIRECTOR 0F PLANNING Mutual Group begfins organ donation progrm The Mutual Group bas launched <By Mutuail Consent,' a progam ame at breaking' b~r to organ donation, in the Oshawa area. "One of the greatest tragedies is that many organs are wasted because people are simply not aware of the critical need for donors or they do net take the necessary steps te become a donor, such as signing a card or discussing their wishes with family members," says Dr. Khris Sachdeva, chair of the organ donor committee.

'By Mutual Consent is designed te help people understand the need for organ donation and te encourage themn te sign an organ donor card and discuss their wishes with family, niembers. Our agents and staf will be involved in spreading the message," says Ed Romaniuk, Oshawa branch chair for the Mutual Group.
