SEP is holding a contest to encourage members to show their support for the Charter of Inclusive Workplaces and Communities and start a discussion about how to make our workplaces and communities inclusive. The winners receive a catered lunch for their entire delegate group.

To enter you must have a poster or desk tent of the Charter. If you have not been offered a poster or desk tent, please contact your local delegate, unit director or vice president. If you aren’t sure who that is, please email society@thesociety.ca.

Here’s how the contest works:

  • SEP is divided into delegate groups of 50 or fewer members – every member has a delegate group. To win, your delegate group must have the most members who have submitted a photo of them supporting the Charter.
  • Each photo must be submitted by either:
    • Posting your photo to Twitter with a supportive message about the Charter and including @thesocietysays in the tweet (if SEP staff can’t confirm your identity based on your Twitter account you may be required to provide additional information);
    • Posting your photo to the SEP Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thesocietysays) with a supportive message about the Charter (SEP staff may require additional information to confirm identity); or
    • Emailing your photo to society@thesociety.ca with your name, employer name and personal mobile phone number
  • To find out who else is in your delegate group contact your SEP delegate. If you don’t know who your delegate is or how to contact them you can receive that information by contacting society@thesociety.ca.
  • If there is a tie for most delegate group submissions the winner will be selected based on the enthusiasm and creativity of the photos submitted.
  • The Society may use your photo to promote the Charter and the union in general.
  • The contest closes at 11:59pm on July 17, 2017.
