Pink Shirt Day coming up in N.S.

Get your pink shirts ready.

Thursday is Stand-up to Bullying Day at schools across Nova Scotia.

It began in 2007 at a school in Berwick, where two Grade 12 students bought 50 pink shirts to hand out to classmates.

It was to support a younger student who was bullied for wearing pink.

The day happens in our province on the second Thursday of September, the national day happens in February.
