Check out the ‪#‎YEGDignity‬ ‪#‎selfies‬! We have this aweseome #YEGDignity campaign leading up to Global Dignity Day Oct. 21. Have you done the #selfie C.A.N.D.Y. challenge yet? Message Gateway Association for candy bags and we'll send some your way. 

The idea behind the campaign is to encourage all members of the community to honour the dignity in all people. The #YEGDignity C.A.N.D.Y. (Challenge. Awareness. Now. Dignity. YEG.) campaign is a selfie challenge. We hand out bags of candy (fitting for October), each of which contains a challenge.

We want people to read the challenge (there are five different challenges), accept it, and post a selfie in support, either on Facebook or on Twitter. 

One message is targeted to businesses: “I will make my business accessible to all people.” One message is targeted to service providers: “I will refer to the people I support as people, not clients.” And three are targeted to the general public: 1.) “I vow not to use the ‘R’ word. Ever.” 2.) “I will respect every person's abilities.” 3.) “I will look at you and not your disability.”

We challenge each and every one of you to honour the dignity in all people with a #selfie and a promise :)
