It’s easier to stand up to bullying when you know you’re not alone — it’s pretty easy to see who’s standing with you on Pink Shirt Day.

On February 24, numerous Kamloops students, school staff, sheriffs, and police officers will add a splash of pink to their wardrobe to show the community where they stand against stopping bullying.

“Pink Shirt Day is a reminder of what the District strives for every day, which is having programs and services that encourage healthy self-esteem and relationships, a positive sense of belonging, as well as teaching kindness, compassion and empathy,” said Vessy Mochikas, Director of Instruction, Kamloops-Thompson School District.
