Bill 80 2010

An Act to make

the month of November Bone Marrow Awareness Month

Preamble

Each

year, hundreds of Canadians need bone marrow transplants to treat potentially

life-threatening illnesses, yet fewer than 30 per cent of these patients will

find a family member that can donate compatible stem cells found in bone

marrow. For a majority of patients, an unrelated donor is the only available

source of bone marrow.

order to help these patients and others around the world find compatible,

committed and healthy unrelated donors, the Unrelated Bone Marrow Donor

Registry was established in 1989 by the Canadian Red Cross Society and assumed

by Canadian Blood Services in 1998.

The

success of the Registry however depends on people who are willing to sign up to

provide the living gift of life to someone who is not related to them and,

while many patients have received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from a

donor found through the Registry, many others continue to search for their

miracle match.

For

this reason, the Katelyn Bedard Bone Marrow Association was founded in 2005 to

promote awareness about worldwide bone marrow registries, to educate on bone

marrow donation, to bring attention to the pressing need for bone marrow donors

and to encourage all adults to consider joining the Registry.

Making

the month of November Bone Marrow Awareness Month supports the work of both the

Canadian Blood Services and the Katelyn Bedard Bone Marrow Association by

raising awareness of the need to increase the size of the volunteer donor pool

in order to better the chances of finding a matching bone marrow donor for

every patient in need of a transplant.

Therefore,

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

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Bone Marrow Awareness Month

1. The

month of November in each year is hereby named Bone Marrow Awareness Month.

Commencement

2. This Act comes into force on the day it

receives Royal Assent.

Short title

3. The

short title of this Act is the Katelyn Bedard Bone Marrow

Awareness Month Act, 2010 .
