Name them. They don’t mind.

On Wednesday February 24th, 2015, Penticton RCMP’s Corporal Jas Johal and Corporal Don Wrigglesworth will be wearing pink shirts in support of anti-bullying. They will be visiting local schools and speaking with students about the power of speaking out against bullying.

In support of National Pink Shirt Day – raising awareness against bullying – the BC RCMP across the Province are wearing pink to show their support.

It doesn’t matter if the bullying takes place in person, at work or school, online or in the community, it is still bullying and as a Province and community we should not tolerate it. The RCMP, British Columbia’s Provincial Police Force, supports all of their local communities and stands with them to fight against this negative behaviour.

Bullying can be any unwelcomed or aggressive behaviour that often makes a person uncomfortable, hurt or scared. It often has long term effects either physically, socially or psychologically not only on the victim but the bystanders who witness it.
