With the nice weather finally gracing us with its presence many of us are starting to think about spending more time outdoors, cycling to work, running, walking! Do you need a place to change and store a change of clothes before or after work?

If you are looking to obtain, or renew your locker for another year, there are lockers are available to ECHA staff. Please note that the facilities do not have showers, however sinks and vanities are available to freshen up! Shower facilities are available at the Van Vliet Centre, free to staff holding a OneCard.

Locker rentals are from 1 May - 30 April of each year and are $30 a year, plus a refundable $10 deposit for new accounts. Please email [email protected] for more details!

Although there have been thousands of published articles in FASD in general, there has been limited research specifically on adolescents and adults with FASD or on individuals across the lifespan. As those individuals diagnosed with FASD continue to age, the “need to know” across a broad spectrum of areas is becoming critically important for identifying clinically relevant research questions and directions.

This interactive 2020 conference will provide an opportunity to be at the forefront of addressing these issues. We will welcome a diverse group of professionals, researchers, students, families and individuals with FASD.

The Call for Abstracts is now open, deadline: September 13, 2019: http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/initiatives/fasd2020/call-for-abstracts/
