The 8th Annual Green Shirt Day is today Canadians across the country will wear green to honour a legacy that continues to save lives.
Green Shirt Day commemorates Logan Boulet, a Humboldt Broncos hockey player who died in the 2018 bus crash.
Logan had registered as an organ donor.
Through that single, kind act, six lives were saved—and a movement was born.
In the weeks following the tragedy, nearly 150,000 Canadians registered as organ donors—an unprecedented response now known as the Logan Boulet Effect.
Eight years later, that ripple continues to spread, inspiring action, awareness, and hope across the country.
Each year on April 7th, we’re encouraged to wear green, share stories, talk with families about donation decisions, and formally register as organ and tissue donors.
I’m an organ donor and am wearing my green Halifax Mooseheads golf shirt on-air here today.
