Saskatoon Police Service Joins Kidney Foundation Donor Program
What happened
Const. Chris Martin donated a kidney to Mike. Following this donation, the Saskatoon Police Service joined the Kidney Foundation of Canada's Living Donor Circle of Excellence program. This program guarantees that police service donors receive paid time off equivalent to at least 80 percent of their wages during recovery from solid organ donation, such as a kidney.

Why it matters
The police service's participation in the program formalizes support for employees who choose to be organ donors. This policy change ensures financial compensation during the recovery period for public servants who donate organs.
