November 2007 
I have placed petitions t the following locations around Yellowknife in an attempt to drum up support for a Territorial Organ/TIssue Donation Registery. The petitions may be found at Harleys Shirt Shack, Sutherlands Drugs Perscription Counter and Weavers and Devores as well. I will be placing more of these as I find willing locations and I also carry one around in case I get asked.
Should we be able to get enough signatures we will then present the petition to Bob Bromley the MLA for my riding and ask for his support in promoting the Registery.
Mr. Hammer was here in the spring promoting support for this program in conjunction with Grade Prairie, AB. we hope our efforts will support his efforts.
This system is working well in at least four provinces and territories and we feel would work very well here. supporting this petition could very well save your life or that of a loved one as Kidney diease is not fussy who it picks on and is very quiet about the whole business. Commonly called the "Silent killer" for good reason, but we can fight back
