On Nov. 8, 2013, the Human Tissue and Organ Donation Amendment Act (Bill 207) was passed. The Act was originally introduced as a private member’s bill by MLA Len Webber.

The Act established a single agency to co-ordinate organ and tissue donations in Alberta, and created a consent-to-donate registry. Albertans who are willing to donate their organs and/or tissue can do so at their local registry when they go to renew their driver’s license or other identification.
