FEBRUARY 26TH
- National Pink Shirt Day – February 26th – A vibrant, national movement to fight bullying. It encourages everyone to wear pink shirts as a stand against bullying and brings people together, promoting kindness and inclusivity. This day also emphasizes that everyone has a role to play in promoting kindness and stopping bullying. The movement continues to grow spreading the message worldwide. The initiative started in Canada in 2007, in Nova Scotia when David Shepherd, Travis Price, and their teenage friends (twelfth-grade students) organized a high school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a grade 9 boy, who was being bullied for wearing his pink shirt. They took a stand against bullying when they protested the harassment of the grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in the school. They sent out a message to their schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag. As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes and it looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. The bullies were never heard from again.
