War Amps Key Tags in mail this week for Grande Prairie

May 16, 2022 | 2:36 PM

Grande Prairie residents should expect to receive their War Amps Key Tags in their mailboxes this starting May 16.

The War Amp Key Tag Service started in 1946 to give war amputee veterans competitive wages and create funds for Canadians through their programs, such as the popular, well-known War Amps Child Amputee Program.

The service is free with the key tags having specific codes. So, if any of these tags were to be lost, they can be placed in any mailbox inside of Canada and War Amps will make sure it gets back to you by courier with no-charge.

The War Amps has returned over 1.5 million sets of keys back to Canadians, employing amputees and people with disabilities while also being completely funded through public support.
