Through the Public Health Agency of Canada we are committed to action on FASD.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Awareness Day is September 9. It is recognized worldwide. Why September 9th? On the ninth minute of the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month, our alliance asks the world to remember that during the nine months of pregnancy, a woman should not drink alcohol. We also want to remember those millions of individuals who will not reach their genetic potential because of the birth defects typical for FASD.
Brass Bell and its satellites spread awareness with events such as:
-
Wearing of FASD knots
-
World wide bell ringing concordance
-
Information stands, brochures, and presentations
-
Community awareness events such as walks, moktail parties, and displays
-
Workshop and info events in schools
Please join us by setting a good example to our future generations!
