The War Amps float passed on the Playsafe/Drivesafe message at the recent Peach Festival Parade in Penticton. This year’s theme, "Mean Machines. Spot the danger before you play!” was depicted on the colourful, animated float, which had a special focus on lawn mowers, farm equipment and railway crossings. Zakary Sharp, 9, of North Vancouver, joined the float as a safety ambassador and warned kids about the dangers in their neighbourhood. As a member of the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) program, Zakary is well qualified to pass on the Playsafe message as he has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented.
