Celebrating Day of Pink at John Paul II Catholic Secondary School

On Wednesday, April 10, 2019, the Toronto Police Service, in partnership with the students and faculty at John Paul II Catholic Secondary School, celebrated International #DayofPink by highlighting student-based, anti-bullying initiatives and hearing from world-renowned inspirational speaker Tad Milmine. Students at John Paul II Catholic Secondary School have been spending the last several weeks developing anti-bullying campaigns and displayed them for the first time at the celebration. Projects included singing performances, spoken-word, and other presentations by various student groups. The International Day of Pink started when a Nova Scotia teen was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. His fellow students rallied – by all wearing pink – and showed their solidarity against LGBTQ-based discrimination.
