FASD Awareness Events in Canada
Hosting events in your community is a great way to connect with others to raise awareness about FASD. Previously, communities have planned awareness walks, hosted community barbecues, painted rocks red, and posted lawn signs or billboards. If you are planning an event, be sure to follow all the rules and regulations of your local municipality. View our list of participating events below.
