Stand Up Against Bullying Day is observed in Nova Scotia, Canada, on the second Thursday of September. This day aims to combat bullying, including cyberbullying, which is a significant issue in schools worldwide. The event was inspired by an incident at Central Kings Rural High School in Cambridge, where a student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In response, two senior students distributed pink shirts to promote solidarity against bullying, leading to the Nova Scotia Premier designating this day to honor their efforts. The day serves as a reminder of the serious impacts of bullying on mental and emotional health, particularly among children, and promotes a supportive environment in schools. Additionally, it aligns with other anti-bullying initiatives, including Canada-wide Pink Shirt Day, which is celebrated on the last Wednesday of February.
