Inspired by a real-life act of solidarity against bullying, Pink Shirt Day is recognized every February in schools across Canada.
With about 1 in 5 students being affected by bullying, Pink Shirt Day is a great opportunity for students, staff and families to come together to share the message that bullying is never okay.
Bullying is a problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and online. Pink Shirt Day raises awareness about the impacts of bullying, how to prevent it, and what supports are available to those affected. OCDSB schools will take part in activities for Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, February 22, and students and staff members are welcome to wear pink to show their support.
If you participate in Pink Shirt Day and post on social media, show us your pictures by using the hashtag #PinkShirtDay and tag us @OCDSB.
