If you’re feeling happy today, then share it with everyone at the Happiness Wall in Richmond Centre.
To mark the United Nation’s International Day of Happiness, the Live Happy magazine is sponsoring all things happy across Canada, including the wall at the shopping centre, which will be taking your happy messages from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, March 20.
And for everyone that accepts the #HappyActs challenge and posts a smiley message on the wall, Live Happy is donating a dollar to Big Brothers and Sisters.
The challenge encourages participants to join in by sharing their #HappyActs online via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.
Happy people, according to the organizers, tend to be “more successful, live longer, have better connections with family and friends, miss less work and donate more.”
One of the hosts, Sheila Randall, said it’s all about sharing how you’re feeling with other people.
“It’s also about taking a moment to think about how lucky we are,” said Randall.
“Everyone who posts a message on the wall will get a HappyAct sticker and bracelet.”
After a few years running in the U.S., this is the first time the event has landed in Canada.
