Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day started in 2007 when two grade 12 students from Nova Scotia decided to stand up for a fellow student who had been harassed for wearing a pink shirt to school. They arranged for dozens of other students to wear pink the next day at school to show support for the harassed student. The movement has grown internationally and now, on a day every February teachers, parents and students wear pink to raise awareness to the problem of bullying in our schools.

Here is a great Pink Shirt Day flash mob video organized by students from Reynold's Secondary, Arbutus and Cedar Hill Middle Schools.
