Pink Day – Wednesday February 22

On Wednesday, February 22, 2023 all HWDSB students and staff are encouraged to wear a pink shirt in honour of Pink Shirt Day – a day to raise awareness and stand up against bullying.

Pink Shirt or Anti-Bullying Day is recognized annually in communities across Canada. Individuals in schools and workplaces come together by wearing pink shirts to show they are against bullying. The focus of Pink Shirt Day 2023 is “Lift Each Other Up”.

“Today our diversity is becoming more visible than ever as people continue to embrace their cultures, identities, and true selves in more open and direct ways; making the need to Lift Each Other Up and have greater acceptance, respect, and inclusion for everyone so important. There are many ways we can help and connect with people who have been impacted by bullying. Let’s Lift Each Other Up this Pink Shirt Day and all year round!” pinkshirtday.ca
