Pink Shirt Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about bullying and promoting kindness and inclusivity. It originated in 2007 in Nova Scotia, Canada, when two students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, organized a protest by distributing pink shirts to support a ninth-grade student who was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt. ​

In 2025, Pink Shirt Day in Canada is observed on February 26th. The theme for 2025 is "Let Kindness Grow," emphasizing the importance of nurturing a sense of belonging through small gestures like kind words and offers of support. ​

By participating in Pink Shirt Day, individuals and communities come together to stand against bullying and foster environments where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.​
