1,000 Step Challenge Social Media Toolkit
Purpose:
November 6 to 12: We’re asking folks to try limiting their daily step count to 1,000 steps a day to raise awareness for the barriers faced by millions of Canadians who have a mobility disability.
Often, health and wellness advocates define a healthy person as someone who walks 10,000 steps a day – meanwhile, municipalities continue to overlook accessibility rights within their jurisdictions.
How could our communities be more accessible and inclusive?
The inaugural 1,000 Step Challenge asks people to engage in these conversations and take action to let their municipal representatives know that supporting accessibility and inclusion is important.
