PInk shirt day is a day that is dedicated to raising awareness of bullying and discrimination. The day is an opportunity for schools across Canada to foster healthy self-esteem and to celebrate differences. The day started back in 2007 when two students organized a high school protest to support a student who was picked on for wearing a pink shirt to school. In 2008 BC became the first province to recognize pink shirt day as a formal occasion. It is now celebrated across Canada.

We will be having an assembly today at 2:00 to recognize the significance of the day.
