Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Help prevent bullying and cyberbullying.

Tomorrow is National Pink Shirt Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the very serious issue of bullying within our schools and communities.

In 2007, David Shepherd and Travis Price of Nova Scotia organized a protest at their high school by wearing pink in support of a Grade 9 boy who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. This simple act of kindness led to a movement that we celebrate each year.

Bullying and cyberbullying can have profound and lasting effects. We all need to do whatever we can to help curb this type of behavior, and to promote kindness and acceptance in our daily lives.

Together, with the support of young Canadians, families, educators and  organizations, we can help prevent bullying and cyberbullying.

I encourage all Canadians to wear pink tomorrow to show your support for ending all forms of bullying. Join the conversation online using #StopBullying and #PinkShirtDay on Twitter (@Safety_Canada/@GetCyberSafe) and Facebook (Get Cyber Safe) and please share our special Pink Shirt Day tweets and posts. Together, we can make a change this Pink Shirt Day!
