Prosthetics can be costly, and the War Amps of Canada can help provide them to amputees.

 

The group also provides child amputees with the tools they need to succeed despite the downfalls.

 

The War Amps work with veterans, advocate for rights and well-being, and help promote the independence of all amputees.

 

The War Amps have been helping amputees in the country for over 100 years; Bob Maguire, a Public awareness officer with the War Amps, shares more.

 

"We've been around for over 100 years.  We started after the first World War and we're looking forward to the next 100 years.  We're celebrating 50 years of our child amputee program next year.  So we're just looking forward to helping all Canadian amputees for the next generation."

 

The group's key tag program has been running for over 70 years and helps return keys when lost.

 

New tags are mailed out yearly, and if found attached to keys, they can be dropped into any Canada Post mailbox to be shipped back to the owner.

 

The mailing schedule for new tags to be mailed out can be found at waramps.ca.
