A wave of pink will be seen at many schools across the province today.
All across Canada, students are donning their bright pink T-Shirts and sharing a message of anti-bullying today. The reason? Pink Shirt Day, which originated in Atlantic Canada.
The movement began in 2007 to support a young boy in Nova Scotia who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
When news spread, it became an annual national event, with thousands of students taking part in each province every year.
One mom in St. John’s believes this practice should be more than a one-day-a-year event. She says the pink shirt symbolizes the students and parents who stand together.
You may notice a few more people wearing pink shirts today.
Wednesday marks Pink Shirt Day, a campaign to prevent bullying in schools, communities and online.
The campaign comes from two Nova Scotia high school students, who decided to take a stand against bullying in their own school by organizing a protest in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
You’re also encouraged to take part through social media, using the hashtags #pinkshirtday and #pinkitforward
