Pink Shirt Day

On Wednesday, February 24, 2021, we encourage all HWDSB students and staff 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 as schools and workplaces come together by wearing pink shirts to show they are against bullying. This year, HWDSB will ground its theme for the day in the title of the recent Review Panel report: “Building Healthy Relationships and Inclusive, Caring Learning Environments.”

This year, more than ever, we acknowledge the work we must do to address bullying. The scope of this work was recently identified in the final report and recommendations from the Safe Schools: Bullying Prevention and Intervention Review Panel.
