PinkShirtDay, a movement that is celebrated across the globe, serves as a reminder that even our smallest actions can lead to significant positive change.
This world-wide awareness day originates as a result of two high school students taking a stand against bullying in their school in Berwick, Nova Scotia, in 2007. After seeing a grade 9 boy being bullied for his pinkshirt, David Shepherd and Travis Price, along with many other students, donned their pinkshirts in support of the victim of the bullying. That simple but powerful act of kindness ignited a spark in youth around the world and has subsequently led to an influential anti-bullying movement.
