Pink Shirt Day looks to continue to take the stand on bullying

The colour of the day is Pink today in Prince Rupert and across British Columbia, with the day one where the quest to bring an end to bullying takes the front stage once again.

From the public schools, Annunciation and on to the college and workplaces around town the message will be shared by the wearing of pink.

You can follow the Pink Shirt Day themes from SD52 through their Facebook page, as well as the   CHSS  and District Social media feeds.

The Prince Rupert Campus of Coast Mountain College will also be making note of Pink Shirt Day today, you can follow the day's events all of their Northwest campus locations here.

The most recent stats on bullying suggest that 1 in 5 kids have been affected by bullying, the Pink Shirt Project to try to counter that statistic began in BC in 2007 and since then has become an international initiative to show that there is no tolerance for bullying.
