FASD Day
Area agencies are making residents in the Rainy River district more aware of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
They gathered at the Circle of Life Centre in Fort Frances Thursday to promote available programs.
Shannon Weir of the Gizhawaadiziwin Health Access Centre says its an issue that needs ongoing attention.
Weir says a woman's total abstinence from alcohol while she's pregnant is the best defence against FASD.
