Nice needs no filter
It really needs no filter
Nice means embrace all
Love All and respect all
All colours are beautiful
All choices are beautiful
It’s Ok to be different
It’s OK to feel different
Wear blues or wear pinks
Dance together and create links
Do not harrase anyone
Don’t bully anyone
Don’t get mad at anyone
We all are people
We all are the same
Love people
Do not judge people
Love all the people
Let’s stop bullying
Let’s stop bullying

Pink Shirt Day
The original event was organized by David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who in 2007 bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after male ninth grade student Charles Mcneil was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the first day of school
In 2008, the then Premier of British Columbia, Gordon Campbell proclaimed February 27 to be the provincial anti-bullying day.[3] It was then celebrated on February 25 in 2009. In 2009, Boys and Girls Clubs worked on pink T-shirts that say “Bullying Stops Here.” and “Pink Shirt Day” for Anti-Bullying Day
We dollow the BC date and celebrate Pink Shirt Day Feb 28th each year
this year the theme is #niceneedsnofilter to raise support for prevention of cyberbullying
The Watson Lake Health Centre staff has supported Pink Shirt Day at Watson Lake Secondary the past few years to support students to stop bullying others as targeted bullying in schools remains an issue and students are often isolated and picked on for being different or expressing their uniqueness.
By hosting a fun activity we hope to raise awareness and support students to stop bullying behaviours that can have dangerous outcomes if allowed to continue
Hope this helps
