EXPLANATORY

NOTE

This Explanatory Note was written as a reader’s

aid to Bill 112 and does not form part of the law.

Bill 112 has been enacted as

Chapter 8 of the Statutes of Ontario, 2022.

The

Bill proclaims April 7 in each year as Green Shirt Day.

Bill 112 2022

Act to proclaim Green Shirt Day

Preamble

April 6, 2018, Canadians were heartbroken to hear the news of the Humboldt

Broncos bus crash. Sixteen of the 29 passengers lost their lives in the crash

while the remaining 13 have been left with physical and emotional scars they

will carry for life.

Logan

Boulet, a defenceman for the Humboldt Broncos, succumbed to his injuries on

April 7, 2018. Prior to the accident, Logan shared with his family his decision

to register as an organ donor. Logan’s heroic choice was inspired by his coach

and mentor, Ric Suggit, who passed away on June 27, 2017, saving six lives with

his organ donation.

After

his death, Logan’s parents, Toby and Bernadine Boulet, fulfilled Logan’s wishes

and donated his organs. His life-giving donation helped another six individuals

in need of organ and tissues transplants. As news spread of Logan’s organ

donation, it is estimated that almost 150,000 people registered to become organ

donors in the weeks that followed his death. This phenomenon became known

across Canada as the “Logan Boulet Effect”.

Green

Shirt Day, recognized across Canada, was created by the Boulet family with the

hopes of inspiring Canadians to consider organ and tissue donation and to

discuss the issue with their family members.

April

7, 2022 will be the fourth anniversary of Logan Boulet’s passing. By

proclaiming April 7 as Green Shirt Day, the Province of Ontario recognizes the

significance of organ and tissue donations and the lasting impact of the Logan

Boulet Effect. Green Shirt Day serves as an opportunity to spread awareness and

educate Ontarians about organ and tissue donation and to honour the victims and

survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, as well as their families.

Therefore,

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Green

Shirt Day

April

7 in each year is proclaimed as Green Shirt Day.

Commencement

This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.
