The legacy of Dr. Barry Blakley will continue to resonate, marked by his selflessness. Barry's family chose to honour his memory by giving the gift of ocular donation.

In this Ocular Donation Month, please consider registering for the life-changing act of organ donation.

“Being willing to give the gift of sight to someone—now that’s pretty amazing.”

#USask graduate and veterinary toxicologist Dr. Barry Blakley made a big impact in his profession and in the class.
