Update!
We have decided to adjust the online format for the upcoming FASD Awareness Day 2020 Event. In order to provide better access to community members, we will now be hosting all activities LIVE on Facebook. Activities will still take place from 9a.m. to 12:30p.m via our network page – Central Alberta FASD Network
We hope that you will still be able to join us and that this format will be more accessible. Please share with your community and we will see you on September 9th!
Mark your calendar and join us to celebrate FASD Awareness and our theme of “Supporting Individuals Across the Lifespan” on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Each year International FASD Awareness Day is celebrated on the 9th of September, with the whole month often dedicated to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness and initiatives around the world. Community events to mark FASD Awareness Day take place around the world with communities traditionally pausing at 9:09am, the 9th minute of the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month of the year, representing the nine months of pregnancy.
This time provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, share the prevention message and support alcohol free pregnancy across the globe.
PLEASE JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE FASD AWARENESS THROUGH OUR ONLINE ACTIVITIES AND OUR NEW CHAMPION AWARDS!
