A philosophy of "amputees helping amputees" has been the hallmark of The War Amps from 1918, when the organization was founded by amputee war veterans, until the present. Counselling, self-help, and practical assistance - along with appreciation of the history of this country - are common threads that have been retained more than 90 years later in the modern day organization that developed from their efforts.

Our Aims & Objectives:

•  improve quality of life for all amputees
• encourage child amputees to develop a positive approach to living with amputation through comprehensive support programs
• educate amputees with the latest information on artificial limbs and all aspects of amputation
• provide employment for amputees
• raise awareness about issues as diverse as the experiences and abilities of amputees, child safety and Canada's military heritage
