The Prosthetics and Orthotics Association of British Columbia (POABC) would like to invite prosthetic and orthotic users, their friends, family, and healthcare support team to get involved.
The Amputee Coalition has designated Saturday, April 23, 2016, 'Show Your Mettle Day'. We hope that all prosthetic, orthotic and wheelchair users will proudly wear and show their devices (prosthetic, orthotic and/or assistive) on this day.
The concept is simple - to show your "mettle", the ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way, by showing your "metal" device or wheelchair.
We are encouraging all interested parties to post a photo of yourself in your wheelchair, wearing your prosthetic/orthotic device, or just living your life (if you currently do not have a device) to our Facebook page:
