Flag-bearer
Lieutenant Jean Girard
I'm honoured to represent the police officers in the Côte-Nord region who transport organs and medical teams on behalf of the Canadian Organ and Tissue Donors Association (CODA). I've been a police officer for over 25 years with the Service de police de la ville de Montréal (SPVM), and I'm a lieutenant at neighbourhood Station 44 in Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie. I know what the volunteer contributions bye local police officers mean to communities in outlying regions, a role that is all too often misunderstood.
For my part, I became a police officer to save lives and make a difference in my community. I've done it in many ways, but rarely as tangibly as when I'm transporting an organ or a medical team. I became a volunteer police officer with CODA in 2003. This involvement led me to become the organ transport coordinator for the SPVM in 2015. Organ donation brings hope. It brings people back to life, relieves families and has a positive impact on the community.
I've known about Chain of Life for 10 years now, and I can testify to the very important role the organization plays in raising awareness among young people—and eventually those around them—about the importance of organ donation, which remains misunderstood and known too little. The values of altruism, selflessness and compassion are conveyed through the training provided by this organization. Ultimately, thanks to Chain of Life, this teaching saves lives! Bravo to my fellow police officers who volunteer in so many ways to help communities in the outlying regions!

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!
