Community Events

FASD is a significant issue in every community of our province. Increased awareness and understanding of FASD is critical to improving outcomes for children, youth, adults and families living with FASD. Each year the Network offers several learning opportunities suitable for families, service providers, a range of professionals and members of the public.
