‘Devastating’: Humboldt Broncos bus crash parent on suspension of organ donation program

Humboldt Broncos bus crash father and organ donor advocate, Toby Boulet, is calling the province suspension of its organ donation program “devastating.”

On Thursday the province announced it is suspending its organ donation program indefinitely as part of the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s COVID-19 surge plan.

“It's devastating to us because we spent three years, over 250 interviews, and every interview has been hard, hard, hard, but today is just brutal because this was to be solved and I shouldn't have to be talking about this today to people,” said Boulet.

Boulet’s son Logan was one of 16 people killed in the April 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Logan had signed up to be an organ donor when he turned 21, just weeks before the crash.
