Be a Buddy – Not a Bully!
Anti-Bully Pink Shirt Day is an annual day of action in Canada where people take a stand against bullying by wearing pink shirts. The event was started in 2007 by two Canadian students who wanted to take a stand against bullying after witnessing a Grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Since then, it has become an annual event that is celebrated in schools and communities across Canada. On this day, people are encouraged to wear pink shirts to show their support for the anti-bullying movement and to remind people of its importance. Throughout the month of February, we wore pink in our clinics to support tis important cause.
