Pink Shirt Day - Anti-Bullying Awareness

Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia, where high school students handed out pink shirts for other students to wear after a ninth grade boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Bullying is an issue in our schools, workplaces, homes, and online. Pink Shirt Day aims to raise awareness of this issue and support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem.
