Join us in honouring the legacy of Logan Boulet and the Humboldt Broncos on the sixth anniversary of Green Shirt Day this April 7th. This day is not just a tribute to those we've lost but also a powerful call to action to champion organ donation initiatives throughout Canada.

Logan's inspiring journey has motivated countless individuals to take the crucial step of registering as organ donors, transforming tragedy into a beacon of hope for more than 4,000 Canadians currently awaiting life-saving transplants. Let's collectively make a difference by registering our decision, engaging in important conversations with our families, and showcasing this incredible legacy by proudly wearing green on April 7 (or even earlier!).

Your support has the potential to illuminate the path to new beginnings for many. By wearing green, sharing your own story, and being part of this inspiring campaign, you contribute to the ongoing movement of hope and organ donation advocacy. Be Inspired, make a positive impact, and join us in honouring Logan Boulet and the Humboldt Broncos on this significant day.

I recently had a long conversation with a billionaire industrials entrepreneur.

I asked how he had come up with the idea for his business.

He said the big idea had come to him in the 9th year of struggling through the mud in his business.

It reminded me of an amazing quote:

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” - Rumi

Ambitious people place so much emphasis on planning: Creating the perfect strategy, business plan, and roadmap.

But the reality is that the people we admire just started walking—and the way eventually appeared.

That "a-ha!" moment of blinding insight is often on the other side of years of gritty effort.

A powerful reminder for everyone out there waiting for the perfect moment, idea, or insight to strike:

Just start walking.

The Boulets encourage Canadians to have a conversation with loved ones about becoming organ and tissue donors.

“We know that in a time of tragedy, at a time when you’re having to make that decision, you may not want to make that decision because you don’t know what your angel person wanted to do,” Bernadine said. “Having that conversation is huge.”

More than 4,000 Canadians are waiting for a transplant, and each year approximately 250 people die waiting, according to Canadian Blood Services.
