The Comprehensive Tissue Centre coordinates all tissue donations in Alberta. The tissues they accept are eyes, skin, bone, veins and heart valves. The criteria for donating tissues are broad; most deaths could result in tissue donation.

It is important to make your wishes regarding donation known as early as possible because there are time limits on the recovery of tissue. Generally tissues must be recovered within six to 24 hours after death. Further information is available at http://www.transplant.ca/ or by phoning 780-407-7510.
