620 CKRM

Tomorrow is Red Cross Pink Shirt Day.

This initiative started in 2007, when a grade nine student in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied by classmates for wearing a pink shirt to school. Taking notice, two students rallied their peers to send a message to the bullies. The next day, the halls were filled with students in pink T-shirts.

This whole movement is because two boys chose to do something about bullying rather than stand by and watch it happen. This day is to educate and inspire others to stand together and take action against violence and bullying.

Harvard Media is proud to present “A Pink Shirt Day Discussion” in support of Kids Help Phone!

– Join the Pink Shirt Day Discussion livestream on Wednesday, February 28th featuring influential panelists discussing how bullying impacted and continues to impact their lives.

-The host and panelists will all share their personal stories and open the floor for a virtual Q&A session whereby classrooms and participants can submit discussion questions.

-The link to watch will be on our events page at 620ckrm.co

Always making new friends and I ran into a big fan of 620 CKRM today. Say hi to Weston Martinuk of Grenfell. Weston came by with his family for a tour of our studios today. Always great to meet our fans no matter the age. With all the questions he had, I'm pretty sure he'll get into radio someday as an engineer or some other capacity.
