To promote anti-bullying, spread a message of kindness and love and take a stand against intolerance and bullies, today is Canada's Day of Pink.

Schools, workplaces, and communities not only across Canada, but here in Moose Jaw, are wearing pink to show their support in the anti-bullying movement.

One school that pushed for participation among their students was Vanier Collegiate High School, as they had posters and social media posts circulating to remind students to wear pink, held a contest for the classroom and individual wearing the most pink, and had a photo booth set up where students could show off their pink.

"It's great to have days about anti-bullying because we see so much bullying in our schools and it's great that we can show support and that we're not scared to dress up or act silly because we know that we have the support of the community," said Samantha Douglas, a teacher at Vanier. "It costs you nothing to be kind, to be nice to each other."

Day of Pink started over 10 years ago when two boys decided to plan a day of pink at their school after a fellow classmate was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt, and their example has been followed ever since. More and more Canadians are aware of these pink days and of the anti-bullying movement.

The City of Moose Jaw also set an example for Day of Pink, signing a proclamation to show the City's support.

Not only is this a day to promote anti-bullying, but it also gives some students a better outlook if they are getting bullied.

"As someone who was bullied in my elementary school years, it does get better," said Ashlyn Turcotte, a student at Vanier. "You will find people who will love and support you, and days like this will show you how little stigma there is to go out and get help if you are being bullied."
