Pink Shirt Day falls on the last Wednesday of February every year and it aims to raise awareness of and address bullying in our schools, homes, and online. Wear pink on this day to show your support to help end bullying.
What is Pink Shirt Day about and why is it important?
Now a movement celebrated worldwide, Pink Shirt Day was inspired by an act of kindness in a small-town in Nova Scotia in 2007. At the time, David Shepherd, Travis Price and their friends organized a school-wide movement to take a stance against bullying by collectively wearing pink in empathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing the colour.
Pink Shirt Day is a reminder of how important it is to encourage healthy self-esteem, empathy, and kindness with one another. To get involved in this campaign, visit pinkshirtday.ca
