Toni Lucas - Close to 50 people who work with people who have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) met in Pincher Creek for a workshop on Friday, September 30. FASD is fetal alcohol exposure that causes permanent brain damage. Speakers included South Alberta FASD Network Prevention Conversation Facilitator Debbie Deak, Lethbridge Police Service Cst. Roberta Small Bones who was discussing FASD Youth Justice Project, and Adult FASD Justice Program Coordinator Sabrina Hacker. September was proclaimed FASD month by the Town of Pincher Creek and a number of awareness raising measures were undertaken throughout the month, culminating in the workshop. One of the goals of the monthlong campaign was to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.
