Healthy Child Manitoba

Partnerships

Manitoba Coalition on Alcohol and Pregnancy brings together families, service providers, community organizations and representatives from government from across the province to share information and resources, co-ordinate activities and plan together to address issues related to FASD. The coalition regularly holds lunch hour information sessions, which are broadcast via the telehealth network, and brings expert speakers to Manitoba. A regular newsletter also facilitates the province wide communication. For more information on MCAP or to subscribe to the free newsletter visit the MCAP website: http://www.capmanitoba.ca.  

Canada Northwest FASD Partnership is an intergovernmental partnership between the four western provinces - British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and the three territories, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The partnering jurisdictions have agreed to share best practices, expertise, and resources, and to develop joint strategies and initiatives to better address the issue of FASD.  The partnership also provides funding, on a three year cycle, for jurisdictions to take turns holding international conferences on the latest advances in research and initiatives related to FASD.  Manitoba’s turn to hold a conference will be in the fall of 2014.
