R﻿ed became a symbol for FASD after RJ Formanek, an advocate with FASD, wore red shoes to talk about FASD on the international stage. From there, the Red Shoes Rock movement was born and has spread across the globe. Red shoes symbolize the strengths and uniqueness of this community.F﻿ASD is a lifelong disability that impacts the brain and body of individuals who were exposed to alcohol during development. Despite being one of Canada's leading neurodevelopmental disabilities (impacting more than autism, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome combined), FASD is often overlooked by community members and leaders alike. This campaign hopes to shine light on this hidden disability and promote action to address it.T﻿his year's theme for FASD Awareness Month is Uniting Our Strengths: Finding solutions Together. FASD is a very complex issue that intersects with many different fields. The impacts of FASD matter to the whole community. We all have a role to play and need to work together to find solutions.1﻿0:30am Registration outside 8120 - 93 Street NW1﻿1:15am Red Shoes Rock Walk1﻿2:30pm Free Lunch and Art Sale at Shamrock Curling Club 9330 80 Ave NW
