Take Action / Chain of Life Challenge
Take on the Chain of Life Challenge at Sommet des Caps!

It's a date on Saturday, October 19, 2024
672-752 Rte de l'Anse à Benjamin
La Baie, QC G7B 0G3
Flag-bearer
Captain Jérôme Paquet
Let me introduce myself: I'm Captain Jérôme Paquet, a police officer with the Service de police de Saguenay (SPS) for over 19 years.
I'm also the coordinator of police volunteers for the Canadian Organ and Tissue Donors Association (CODA) and the flag-bearer for 2024 Chain of Life Challenge for the Saguenay Police Service.
This is a new role for me following the retirement of Captain Steeve Gilbert. I would like to highlight the involvement of all SPS police officers who are out on the front lines transporting organs and medical teams on a volunteer basis.
As coordinator, my contribution to Chain of Life is particularly important to me because in 2021, I had a liver transplant that saved my life. As someone who waited several months for a transplant, I understand the importance of raising awareness about organ donation, and I make it my duty to promote this gesture every day.
Join me in celebrating life by taking part in the 2024 Chain of Life Challenge!
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.

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!
