Pink It Forward

Today, February 24th, is Pink Shirt Day in Canada.  A day that started as a way to take a stand against the bullying of a Grade 9 student who wore a pink shirt has now spread across Canada and is prominent in schools on this day each year.  Today Canadians are encouraged to don their best pink clothing and show support by “pinking it forward” on social media.  Please visit pinkshirtday.ca/pinkitforward and share your support using the hashtag #PinkItForward on your social networks to raise awareness and funds to help put an end to bullying.
