Pink Shirt Day (February 25, 2026)

Recognized on the last Wednesday of February, Pink Shirt Day raises awareness about bullying while promoting kindness, respect, and inclusivity.

This annual event originated in Nova Scotia in 2007 when two students organized a protest in support of a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Since then, Pink Shirt Day has grown into a global movement where people wear pink shirts as a symbol of standing up against bullying and spreading positivity.
