Celebrate Pink Shirt Day in February
In 2007, after a new student at their school was bullied for wearing a pink shirt, 2 Nova Scotia high school students who witnessed the scene bought 75 pink shirts and, through social media, the boys encouraged their classmates to wear pink. The next day, to their surprise, most students arrived wearing something pink! With that act of kindness, Pink Shirt Day was born.
What started as a small act of support quickly grew into a national – and now international – movement against bullying.
Pink Shirt Day raises awareness about the role we all play in preventing bullying and promoting kindness, respect, and inclusion – not only in our schools, but also in our workplaces and our communities too.
On February 25, we invite you to wear pink. Wearing pink is a simple way to show your commitment to creating a culture where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported. Small actions can make a big difference.
💗 Wear pink. Stand together. Make kindness visible.
