BC Place lights up in support of Pink Shirt Day

February 26th, 2020

BC Place will light up pink in support of Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, February 26th.

Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and online. Pink Shirt Day aims to raise awareness about these issues, as well as raise funds to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem. Since 2008, net proceeds of over $2.3 million have been distributed to support youth anti-bullying programs in British Columbia and throughout Western Canada. In 2019 alone, the Pink Shirt Day movement was able to support programs that impacted more than 59,000 youth and children.
