The initiative was part of Pink Shirt Day, an annual event held in late February.

Pink Shirt Day originated in 2007 in Nova Scotia when two boys and their friends organized a protest to wear pink in sympathy for a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
The event has spread across the country and around the world since that time.
