Pink Shirt Day recognized this year on Feb. 24, 2021

Pink Shirt Day is Feb. 24.
Recognized worldwide since it began in 2007, Pink Shirt Day is an opportunity to promote healthy relationships, respect diversity and to take a stand against bullying. We all share a responsibility to stop bullying when we see it.
Staff and students are encouraged to recognize the day and wear pink. You can also use #WhereToTurn to post photos online of people wearing a pink shirt or mask. Posters, social media graphics and other resources are available at Pink Shirt Day Alberta. Promoting the day shows commitment and understanding of the importance of promoting healthy relationships and creating environments that are welcoming, caring, respectful, safe and free of bullying behaviours.
