TikTok influencer, Caden Tenecke (@officialcadentenecke) raises awareness about accessibility and inclusion
With a TikTok following of over 800,000, Caden uses his platform to advocate for accessibility. Across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, Caden seeks to spread awareness to his 1.2 million followers about living with his rare form of dwarfism. His posts provide a sense of community for others who face similar accessibility challenges. Caden is a recipient of the Rick Hansen Foundation School Program (RHFSP) Difference Maker of the Year award (each year, RHFSP accepts nominations to learn more about the wonderful work youth are doing across the country. This year’s recipients are youth and classrooms or groups comprised of young people who have made a positive impact in the lives of people with disabilities in their school or community).
“Rick is my dad’s hero, so I’ve grown up tuning in on the Foundation,” Caden said. “It’s a huge honour to be recognized when receiving his award award.”
