Our scholarship and bursary program is named in honour of John Plater, a tireless advocate for people with bleeding disorders and those who were affected by the tainted blood tragedy. John had severe hemophilia A and contracted HIV from tainted blood. He passed away in the prime of his life due to complications from AIDS. John was a tireless advocate whose work led to the establishment of the Krever Inquiry and compensation for those who were infected with HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C. John graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1998, and maintained a legal practice assisting those affected by the tainted blood tragedy.
John was a mentor, friend, leader and hero to many in the bleeding disorders community. This program recognizes and celebrates John’s commitment to education, our community and to helping others.
