day-of-pink-logoJoin UFCW Canada Local 1000A in taking a stand against bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia in our schools, workplaces and communities by participating in the International Day of Pink.

Observed on April 9, 2014, the International Day of Pink is about celebrating the great diversity within our country and taking a stand against bullying.

We hope you can show your support against bullying, discrimination and homophobia and transphobia by observing the day and/or wearing pink.

Join the global movement for equality and inclusiveness by taking a stand against bullying.

The Day of Pink began in 2007 as response to a gay student being bullied for wearing pink at his Nova Scotia high school. Two students not only intervened but a few days later, also eventually got the entire school to wear pink shirts in solidarity.

The Day of Pink is a global phenomenon, observed around the world. For more information on the day of pink, please visit http://www.dayofpink.org/.
