Today is Pink Shirt day – an anti-bullying campaign aimed at ending bullying in our schools, workplaces and homes.

Superintendent with the Waterloo Region District School Board, Peter Rubenschuh says many students and teachers love to get involved in the campaign.

“It’s really around raising awareness that we have a collective responsibility to address these behavioural challenges, and helping our young people to move beyond that.”
