Alberta celebrates acts of kinds on Pink Shirt Day
Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day, and the Government of Alberta is reminding people to support each other, and be inclusive and welcoming.
The day has been recognized worldwide in 2007 to fight bullying after a student from Nova Scotia was bullied in school for wearing a pink shirt.
The government took to Twitter to encourage Albertans to prevent bullying and create safe environments.
