Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
The
bullying
they
handed
out
50,
pink
shirts
for
students
to
wear
in
support
of
their
classmate.
This
heartwarming
Act
of
solidarity
sent
a
strong
message
that
bullying
would
not
be
tolerated
in
their
school
today.
Pink
shirt
day
has
grown
to
be
supported
by
people
in
over
110
countries,
including
right
here
in
British,
Columbia's
Parliament
buildings,
thanks
to
former
Premier
Christy
Clark
pink
shirt
day
highlights
the
importance
of
taking
ownership
of
one's
work
words
and
realizing
the
impact
these
words
have
on
another's
mental
health.
No
one
should
leave
conversations
feeling
belittled,
humiliated
and
defeated.
A
This
year's
theme
is
lifting
each
other
up
a
reminder
to
be
kind
and
make
sure
that
we
are
supporting
and
speaking
up
for
those
who
do
not
have
a
voice.
British
Columbians
must
stand
together
and
ensure
the
end
of
racism,
homophobia
and
transphobia
in
our
society
and
make
BC
a
safe
place
for
everyone.
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker.
