Tags from the War Amps' 2023 Key Tag Service are on their way to Okotoks and the surrounding areas.

The service provides donors with a key tag, each with a unique identifying code.

If the keys are lost, the person who finds them can call a number on the tag, place them in a mailbox, and the War Amps will return them to their owner free of charge.

It was established in 1946 both as a way of providing work for amputee veterans and funding War Amps programs.

Today it provides funding for programs such as the Child Amputee Program (CHAMP), which helped seven-year-old Okotokian Frank Ulloa get fitted for a prosthetic hand to help him swim.
