Pink
Shirt Day across Canada is Wednesday February 26th. Pink Shirt Day originated
in Nova Scotia when two students organized the day to protest against bullying
in their school. They distributed pink shirts to all of the boys to wear in
empathy with a boy who was being bullied. The day has grown over the years and
now we are all asked to wear pink on this day to help stop bullying. A number
of schools in ASD-N are marking this day, on or about Feb. 26th. On-going
anti-bullying campaigns are conducted throughout the school year in many
schools. For more information visit PINK SHIRT DAY. See attachment for more about the day's origins.
