In 1993, citizens from the community of Maple Ridge, BC, began a coordinated and strategic process to address the issue of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This grassroots-based group implemented their community action plan, which resulted in the creation of the FASD Society for BC (formerly known as the Greater Vancouver Fetal Alcohol Society). This not-for-profit Society was incorporated in March 1999 and is recognized for tax-exempt status as a registered charity.
The Asante Centre is proud to have since grown to include services for families with other complex developmental needs. The Centre team continues to develop our experience, expertise and always our commitment, to best support individuals with developmental diversities, their families and service providers.
