Residents can support anti-bullying, youth mentoring programs at many local businesses.
Pink Shirt Day started in a Nova Scotia town in 2007, after students wore pink shirts in solidarity with a Grade 9 student who was bullied for wearing one on his first day at school. This year the event is being celebrated in 110 countries around the world.
“All money raised from the selling of shirts and bracelets, pink items, and our online auction will be used to support pro-active mentoring programs that serve children in Prince George and Northern BC,” the organization’s website says. “These programs take many forms from 1:1 at school, in the community, or in a virtual setting as well as skill based group programs.”
Tim Hortons, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Carl’s Junior, The Makerie, Cait’s Sweet Bites and Beanery, Blissful Bubbles and Farmhouse Catering Company all have Pink Shirt Day items for sale, including donuts, milkshakes, bath bombs, candy apples, pink cheesecake and more.
