Today is Pink Shirt Day, an annual event in Canada that recognizes anti-bullying efforts.
The initiative was started back in 2007 after a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt to school.
Scott McFadden, executive director of the Anxiety Disorders Association of Manitoba says there's always resources for people who suffer the effects of bullying.
"There are resources out there. 988 is a number i really want to highlight today. There is also the kid's help line. If kids are texting, they can text 686868, or they can call 1 800 668 6868"
Events are being held across the country, and people are encouraged to wear pink to raise awareness against bullying, especially in school.
It is held annually on the last Wednesday in February.
