Changed my hair up a bit today in honor of Pink Shirt Day!<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pink Shirt Day is recognized all around the world, but actually began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.\u00a0 The goal of this special day it to create schools, workplaces, and communities where all people feel safe, valued and respected.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s Pink Shirt Day is \u201cLift each other up\u201d –\u00a0 a simple but powerful message encouraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things that make us unique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was happy to see so many of our employees wearing pink today, showing that they really care by spreading awareness and starting conversations – such an important step towards healing and helping! We all want to work within an environment that accepts us for who we are, and I think UFV does a wonderful job of being open-minded and inclusive of all of our colleagues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Even though Pink Shirt Day is officially<\/em> recognized only one day each year, I encourage you all to try your best to to be kind always!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
