Pink Shirt Day has not spread and become a national day of anti bullying across Canada and other countries around the worldI

This year, Pink Shirt Day, or Anti-Bullying Day, is on February 23, 2022.

It is a day when people come together by wearing pink shirts to school or work to show they are against bullying.

You can wear a pink shirt to school or wear one at home if your school is doing distanced e-learning.

In 2007 in Nova Scotia, Grade 12 students David Shepherd, Travis Price and a few friends saw that a Grade 9 student was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.

They knew they had to do something to show that this kind of behaviour was not OK.

They decided to go out and buy a bunch of pink shirts and hand them out to other students to wear. 

By the end of that week, most of the students in the school were wearing pink shirts to show support for the Grade 9 student who was bullied.
