Officer Vincent Thibault

I've been involved in the organ donation chain of life for over 15 years now. And yet, every time I answer the call and perform a transport, it's exactly as if it were my first time. The excitement is palpable, the emotions are high and I feel proud to be doing my part for organ donation.

I'm Vincent Thibault, a police officer for nearly 17 years and a humble volunteer for the Canadian Organ and Tissue Donors Association (CODA). I'm currently a dog handler with the Laval police force.

This year, it was with great surprise that I was contacted by the Chain of Life organization to be the flag-bearer for the tenth edition of the Chain of Life Challenge for the Laval region. I was really happy to respond positively to this request.

Whether doing a transport for CODA, giving a testimonial for Transplant Québec or participating in a Chain of Life Challenge, when it comes to organ donation, my involvement always triggers the same feelings: I feel human, I'm helping my fellow man, I'm giving back to the next person and I'm improving people's quality of life through my actions, my writings or my words.

I hope I can inspire you to get involved in organ donation in your own way.

The first mission of Chain of Life is to educate teenagers about organ and tissue education so that they can form their personal decision about this issue and then discuss it with their families.

Consenting to organ donation is a simple gesture that saves lives!

The Key Links in the Chain of Life

The key links in the chain of life are doctors, nurses, transplant recipients, donor families, teachers, students, distinguished climbers, public figures and many others... who join forces to create a movement uniting all those touched directly or indirectly by organ and tissue donation.
