Box 708, Station M, Calgary, AB T2P 2J3 Contact: Trish Weatherup, Executive Director Phone: 403-201-0507 Email: [email protected] www.aasra.ab.ca Population served: All amputees province wide with a focus on peer support and encouragement to participate in sports and recreation programs. The Alberta Amputee Sports & Recreation Association (AASRA) was originally formed in 1977 to assist amputees from all walks of life with moral, physical and personal support. AASRA is a registered charitable organization in Alberta run by volunteers. AASRA believes the quality of life for all amputees is enhanced through participation and interaction with other amputees, as well as the able-bodied. This interaction improves each participant’s social, emotional and physical well-being. AASRA provides moral support to new and existing amputees, young and old alike. Support group meetings, one-on-one consultations with new amputees, as well as recreational and competitive sports programs are provided. AASRA further supports the rehabilitation of amputees by organizing, encouraging and funding personal involvement in social and recreational activities like annual amputee golf tournaments, cycling clinics, hockey, bowling, track and field, skiing and more. The Association also provides personal support to amputees and their families in the community with amputee and family support groups. Meetings are held at 7 p.m. the last Wednesday of every month at Carewest Glenmore Park, 6909 14th St. S.W. in Calgary (just up the hill and across from Rockyview Hospital). All amputees and their families are welcome. AASRA believes that it’s not what you’ve lost that counts. It’s what you do with what you have left. Disability need not get in the way of ability.

This study will develop a recommended grade separation plan for the Red Line LRT tracks and 25 Avenue S.E. It will also identify short-term improvements in the study area.
