Alberta Amputee Sports & Recreation Association

Welcome to AASRA

OUR MISSION:  To support and provide opportunities for amputees
in recreation and sporting activities, in both disabled and able-bodied events.
To provide personal peer support to amputees and their families in the community.
Our Philosophy

Our Association believes that the quality of life for all amputees is enhanced through participation and interaction with other amputees, which improves one's social, emotional and physical well being.  We provide moral support to new and existing amputees, both young and old alike.

 

We believe in furthering the rehabilitation of amputees by organizing and encouraging personal involvement in social and recreational activities. We strive provide support services to those who might need a lending hand or just a shoulder to lean on, so that no amputee in Alberta feels alone, and that amputees are empowered to both receive help and give back when and if they feel ready to, but never obligated to do so.

 

To make all of our lives better, we assist in prosthetic research for the purpose of obtaining the best device(s) available for amputees by encouraging amputees to participate in prosthetic's training courses and research projects of all types. All of this takes money so we are committed to raising funds necessary to promote the aims and objectives of the association.
