Wednesday, February 22nd was Anti-Bullying Day, Students and Staff at HAECC were in fine form sporting their pink. “Nearly half of all adolescent Canadian students reported they have experienced recent bullying” according to https://nobullying.com/bullying-statistics-in-canada.
The Pink shirt initiative began when a high school student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. His friends intervened and it led to a nationwide Anti-Bullying Day that is recognized at the end of February each year in Canada. HAECC is proud to, along with its partners, students and staff to stand up to Bullying!
