G.S. Lakie Middle School hosts Green Shirt Day assembly
On Monday morning, G.S. Lakie Middle School had some very special guest for the school's Green Shirt Day assembly.
Bernadine Boulet was on hand to tell the story of her son, Logan, who was a middle school student at Lakie. It was on April 6, 2018, when, as a result of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, 16 people, lost their lives.
Humboldt Broncos defenceman Logan Boulet succumbed to his injuries and his parents offered to donate Logan's organs so that six lives could live on.
They did so because Logan told his parents he was registering as an organ donor, after he was inspired by his coach and mentor, Ric Suggitt, who passed away on June 27, 2017, and was also an organ donor who eventually saved six lives.
Jan Clemis, a former teacher in southern Alberta, also spoke about their family's organ-donation journey.
Clemis, a mother of three, is a kidney transplant recipient, who told her story about how her son, Blair, donated his kidney to her back in 2018. Her husband was also a double-lung transplant recipient.
