Pink Shirt Day

by

This year, Pink Shirt Day is February 22, 2023. This day encourages everyone to practice kindness and wear pink to symbolize that you do not tolerate bullying.

Now a movement celebrated across the globe, Pink Shirt Day has humble beginnings. Inspired by an act of kindness in small-town Nova Scotia, now the day brings awareness and raises funds for anti-bullying programs.

This Pink Shirt Day, the focus is on working together and treating others with dignity and respect. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all and shown the importance of helping one another and advocating for those who need it.

Don’t forget to share photos of yourself and your coworkers on social media on February 22 to show your support for #pinkshirtday. You can also tag United Way KFL&A and we’d be happy to share and further spread the message of kindness.

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.

We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
