Every year, Pink Shirt Day falls on the last Wednesday of February. It serves as a reminder to renew our pledge to create a more kind, inclusive world by raising awareness and continuing the work to prevent all forms of bullying, hate, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny. 

This year's theme centres on cultivating a community of kindness. When we centre kindness in our everyday actions, we become part of the creation of affirming and inclusive schools in the OCDSB and in society. Wearing a pink shirt on this day is a reminder to others to practice kindness and compassion, and stand up against bullying and hate in all its forms.

At Manordale, Pink Shirt Day is a powerful reminder that kindness, respect, and inclusion make our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone. By wearing pink, we stand together and commit to "Being the ‘I’ in KIND." Every small act of kindness—whether through words or actions—helps create a community where everyone feels valued and supported. On Pink Shirt Day and every day, we choose to lift each other up, spread kindness, and make Manordale a place where all students belong and thrive.
