The Canadian Transplant Games have kicked off at sports venues across Ottawa. The event raises awareness of the many Canadians still waiting for organ and tissue donations, while also highlighting the success stories of those living healthy lives after receiving a transplant.
There were roars of applause at the Orleans Bowling Centre on Monday as participants faced off in a friendly tournament. All those participating were organ, tissue or stem cell recipients ranging from 4 to 80 years old.
