As a mission of hope for the future, a program called Operation Legacy has evolved in which members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program help to pass the NEVER AGAIN! message from war amputee veterans to younger generations.  This independent and dedicated group of young Canadians is committed to commemorating and pre-serving Canada’s military heritage.

Though Operation Legacy members have not experienced war firsthand, they know what it is like to live without a limb – a bond they share with war amputee veterans, with whom they have developed strong relationships.

Members of Operation Legacy are well-versed in Canada’s military history.   Teaching younger generations about the true horrors of war is part of The War Amps legacy.  Through Operation Legacy, members of CHAMP will continue the Association’s tradition of “amputees helping amputees” and will pass the NEVER AGAIN! message to future generations, long after no war veterans remain.

Operation Legacy’s formalized structure:

• President – Karen Valley 
• Vice-Presidents:
  • Louis Bourassa
  • Annelise Petlock 
  • Chris Koch
  • Benoit Lachance
  • Rob Larman
• Numerous Regional Representatives

Thousands of members of our CHAMP Program have joined Operation Legacy from coast to coast.
