On September 9, 2026, we invite our community to step up, stand together, and help raise awareness for FASD by wearing your favourite pair of red shoes

Every pair tells a story.

Every step helps spark conversation.

Every voice helps build understanding.

FASD Awareness Day is about creating compassion, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals and families impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

Whether you wear bright red runners, boots, heels, slippers, or tiny toddler shoes — we want to see them ALL!

Snap a photo in your red shoes and share it to help spread awareness throughout our communities!

Together, we can create understanding, connection, and support — one step at a time!

We’re excited to bring this engaging and supportive workshop to the Valleyview community! Join us for a meaningful conversation focused on FASD awareness, prevention, understanding, and connection.
