Dear Editor, On behalf of The War Amps, I would like to thank Stonewall Teu- lon Tribune reporter Jennifer McFee (May 13) for featuring John Van Massenhoven, who grew up in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Stories like this help bring im- portant awareness to the many vi- tal programs we offer for all Cana- dian amputees. Although the Association has provided more than 100 years of innovative programs, there is still much to do to ensure amputees across Canada have the support they need. With the public’s con- tinued support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Ser- vice, our commitment remains to improve the lives of amputees, like TRIBUNE PHOTO BY JEN VANKEMENADE John, long into the future.

By Joshua Frey-Sam When Amber Sarraillon moved out of her parent’s home, after graduat- ing high school from SCI, she never thought she’d be moving back in, let alone with her future partner. That proved to be the case earlier this year when Sarraillon and her partner, Morgan Wielgosz, sold their home in Winnipeg so they could af- ford to start their own craft brewery, Good Neighbour Brewing. “It was time for us to do what we’ve longed to do our entire careers,” said Wielgosz, Good Neighbour Brewing co-founder and brewmaster.
