April 11th marks , when 吃瓜黑料网 staff and students wear pink in support of diversity and to raise awareness to stop discrimination, gender-based bullying, homophobia, and transphobia. The Day of Pink is more than just a symbol of a shared belief in celebrating diversity – it’s also a commitment to being open-minded, accepting differences and learning to respect each other.

Eric will be speaking to students and joining them on the rink for a skate. 18-year-old Canadian Paralympian Marissa Papaconstantinou, 吃瓜黑料网 alumnus, will also speak and participate in the free skate.
More than 200 Grade 5 and 6 students of Gordon A Brown Middle School, Selwyn Elementary School, and Presteign Heights Elementary School will be participating in this event and decorating the site with strong and visual images of our students’ commitment to speaking out against bullying, discrimination, and homophobia.
