Flag-bearers
Pier-Anne Paré
I'm Detective Sergeant Pier-Anne Paré, a police officer with the Sûreté du Québec for over 16 years. I am an investigator at the MRC de la Nouvelle-Beauce station in Sainte-Marie.
My involvement with the Canadian Organ and Tissue Donors Association (CODA) began in March 2021. I agreed to take over the coordination of organ transports by SQ police officers in the region from Captain Ghislain Harnois. I do this on a voluntary basis, in addition to my job, being a full-time mom and having a busy lifestyle. When an ACDO transport is needed, I receive the request by phone. I then arrange for a volunteer police officer to carry out the mission, or on occasion, I do it myself. I need to have my phone handy 24 hours a day in case a request comes in.
With the help of my colleague, Lieutenant Nicolas Desgagné, I have coordinated over 200 transports in the last few years. In October 2021, was honoured to receive the Great Samaritan medal of honour for my contribution and commitment to the cause of organ and tissue donation.
I'm involved in organ transport because it's a cause that's close to my heart. I'm aware that our contribution saves lives and gives meaning to our work. I'm proud to be part of the chain of life that sometimes turns tragedies into “little miracles."
Sébastien Proulx
A police officer with the Sûreté du Québec since 1999, I am currently a sergeant and the interim emergency measures officer for the greater Capitale-Nationale region, including Chaudière-Appalaches. From the very beginning of my career, I've always attached the greatest importance to community involvement.
In this sense, my contribution to organ transport really means a lot to me. I'm proud to be part of the great chain of life that organ donation represents. This involvement gives tangible meaning to my work as a police officer. Volunteering with CODA is rewarding, and I'm privileged to be able to help my community in this way.
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.

Distinguished Climber
François-Guy Thivierge
It is with great honour that, ever since the first Challenge in 2016, I have accepted to be the Chain of Life distinguished climber for the Capitale-Nationale region.
It is a pleasure for me to climb the Relais each year in the company of doctors, nurses, transplant recipients, donor families, and, last but not least, all those connected closely or remotely to the cause of organ donation.
François-Guy Thivierge
Climber, author and speaker
Mountain Climbing and Waiting for a Transplant: What a Parallel!
Participants in the Chain of Life Challenge carry the flag to the top of a mountain in their region.
Waiting for a transplant is a bit like climbing a mountain. Both require preparation, fortitude, determination, perseverance and, most of all, support — the climber needs strong climbing partners and the person waiting for an organ needs a reliable support network. Both are real challenges. This is why the mountain has become one of the symbols associated with Chain of Life.
By planting the Chain of Life flag at the top of a mountain, we are not only showing our solidarity for organ and tissue donation, but we are also helping send a message of hope to all those waiting for a transplant in Quebec and elsewhere.
Thank you to our partners!
