September is recognized across Canada and globally as FASD Awareness Month, extending the focus beyond a single day. First officially recognized by the Canadian government in 2020, the month highlights Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). International FASD Day, celebrated every September 9th since 1999, remains a key highlight dedicated to improving prevention, early diagnosis, and support for individuals and families affected by FASD.

Territory Acknowledgment
Manitoba FASD Coalition acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional lands of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, and that our work spans across the province of Manitoba, on lands covered by Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
These are the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis.
We also like to acknowledge that our electricity and clean drinking water are sourced from treaty territories.
Manitoba FASD Coalition respects the treaties that were made on these territories, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
