#ShareYourSmile Campaign
We have launched a national campaign, #ShareYourSmile to raise awareness and increase the use of clear lens masks as a universal practice that improves accessible communication and makes your service environments more inclusive.
Communication is visual. Standard face masks block faces and prevent our ability to see facial expressions and emotions along with visual cues to communicate.
#ShareYourSmile with us post your photos or videos on our social media channels where clear lens masks are being worn in your community!
Humask and CHHA have partnered to bring you this unique Mask…Providing Protection and Improving Communication.

Steps to take the video:
- Smile
- Grab your Humask from in front of you and put it on.
- Look back at the camera and continue to smile with your clear mask on.
- Give two thumbs up (keep smiling)Tips:
- If possible, record your video in 1080p (Full HD). The video should be taken horizontally.
- Feel free to dress up and use or create a background that shares who you are or show us your favourite place.
- Let the light in. Be mindful of lighting as the goal is to get the best quality video from your device. You typically want to have the light facing or directed at you for optimal video quality.
Tips for creating the photo or video:
- Please make sure that the clear lens on your mask does not fog up. HuMask Pro Vision masks have an anti-fogging technology.
- Make sure the camera is at eye level or as close to eye level as possible.
- Please do not be too close or too far away from the camera. Viewers should see your entire face and about 5-10 inches below your shoulders.
- What to wear – as we are trying to showcase diverse people and professions, it would be great to wear something that represents your work, passion, culture, values, etc.
- Don’t forget about your background. If you can, position yourself in a setting representing who you are or what you do.
- You can take videos or photos from your favourite places such as restaurants, coffee houses, grocery stores, or even your workplace. Feel free to get creative with this.
