Chilliwack – 12 year old Ethan Fleming of Chilliwack, presented Chilliwack Hope MP Mark Strahl with a Canada Post commemorative envelope which celebrates The War Amps 100th anniversary.
The envelope reflects the Association’s long history and innovative programs through photos and text.
The War Amps was started in 1918 by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to life with amputation.
The Association’s programs have grown over the past 100 years from assisting war amputees – whom they still serve – to all amputees, including children like Ethan, a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
You may have also noticed the PSA’s during CFL Football broadcasts encouraging everyone to play safe.
