BC Place lights up for International Day of Pink
April 8th, 2020
BC Place will light up pink for International Day of Pink on Wednesday, April 8th.
Discrimination takes many shapes, whether it’s based on race, age, disabilities, gender or sexuality. The 2SLGBTQIA+ community is no stranger to the bullying and violence that stems from hateful beliefs. While progress has been made towards removing these social barriers from our society, discrimination still persists.
International Day of Pink is acknowledged on the second Wednesday of April each year to urge people around the world to put on a pink shirt and stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to continue fighting for equality and acceptance.
