The War Amps has more than 90 years of experience in providing support to Canadian amputees. One of the primary goals of The War Amps National Amputee Centre is to educate amputees and their families about all aspects of amputation. Through the formalization of the National Amputee Centre, information from all over the world is shared with amputees and the prosthetic industry in Canada. The information gathered by the National Amputee Centre at prosthetic conferences and through direct contact with manufacturing companies is an invaluable resource for amputees.
