More than just a day: how P.A. is marking Pink Shirt Day
Feb. 22 marks Pink Shirt Day and several people in Prince Albert are marking the occasion, raising awareness on the issue of bullying.
Those recognizing Pink Shirt Day in the city include Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Prince Albert, KIN Enterprises, Pharmasave on Central and Prince Albert Pride.
For the local Pride Society, this day is one they circle on their calendars each year. But as co-chair Chelsea Bleau explains, it’s not just something they talk about one day of the year.
“We also stand up against all bullying. I think that goes without saying that all bullying is awful and we should always stand up for it. What’s important is being here for people who are being bullied,” they said, mentioning that it’s not just bullying against the LGBTQ community that they talk about.
