Tomorrow is the annual Pink Shirt Day when people across Canada wear bright pinks shirts to raise awareness about bullying.

Pink Shirt Day was inspired by a 9th grader in Nova Scotia who wore a pink shirt on his first day of school and was mocked and called names. After hearing of this, two 12th graders went out and bought over 50 pink shirts and tank tops for their classmates and teachers to wear in solidarity. Since then, the last Wednesday of every February has been declared Pink Shirt Day.

According to Bullying Canada, somebody is bullied on a playground ever seven minutes and in a classroom every 25 minutes.

Join the anti-bullying movement by wearing a pink shirt tomorrow to let everyone know that bullying will not be tolerated!
