Smile With Pride, Serve With Pride

Serving with Pride (SWP) has begun planning for its annual OUT OF THE BLUE Gala & Awards night to be held on October 13, 2018.  As part of the evening, SWP would like to put together a video that highlights uniformed and non-uniformed police, corrections, criminal justice, and LGBTQ2 youth from across Ontario.  The organization would like to receive a short video clip (5-10 seconds long) or a still photograph of employees and youth holding up a cue card that says in five (5) words or less how you serve with pride.  Here are some examples:

I serve with pride...

• With compassion
• With integrity
• By showing my rainbow
• By being “out”
• By living my authentic self
• By believing in inclusion

Ideally, the video would include as many Chiefs and Executive level personnel as possible, so police leaders are asked to consider their participation in this project.

Things to remember:

• Uniforms are encouraged
• images should be high resolution jpg or vector
• video should be Mp4 or other suitable video format
• Shot should be close enough to read the cue card (waist and up) or if a group shot the card should be large enough to read
• Think about the background – in front of flags, crests, signage or other suitable areas that reflect where you work
• Your imagination is encouraged

Please send photos and/or video clip to SWP Co-chair Jean Turner at jeanturner23@gmail.com, by September 1, 2018.  Be sure to include the agency and name(s) of person who is in the photo.
