Students across the province will be dressed in pink today.
It is Pink Shirt Day!
It originated in 2007 after two Nova Scotia high school students encouraged their friends to wear pink T-shirts in support of a student who had been bullied. Since then, schools, businesses, communities and governments across Canada have recognized the last Wednesday in February as Pink Shirt Day.
This year’s pink shirt day focuses on cyberbullying. Kids are encouraged to think twice before posting something negative, and instead using the Internet to spread kindness.
