Alberta Amputee Sports & Recreation Association
Welcome to AASRA
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 also provide support services to those who might need a lending hand or just a shoulder to lean on. As a group we want to provide personal support to amputees and their families in the community. 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.

Hello AASRA members -
Thanks to everyone who volunteered and came out to ensure that our funding is secured for the next 18 months. That funding will help support our members as they pursue their recreational and sports activities.
Without your support and volunteering, AASRA wouldn't be able to support our members to the extent that we do. Special thanks to those members who volunteered for two shifts. That truly goes above and beyond.
Thanks again and take care everyone.
