Pretty in pink P38 Energy decided to show its support for anti-bullying. Pink Shirt Day, a national anti-bullying campaign, was celebrated all throughout Cornwall on February 24. Each year thousands of people in Cornwall and S.D. & G. and many more across Canada show their support by donning pink on Pink Shirt Day. The campaign is now an internationally celebrated day, but its origins started in Canada. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both of Berwick, Nova Scotia, started the movement which is now known as Pink Shirt Day, back in 2007. The pair noticed a grade-nine student at their school being bullied because he had chosen to wear a pink shirt on the first day of school. The boys decided to take a stand against bullying by going to local stores and purchasing 50 pink shirts to wear. The next day, Travis, David and 48 of their friends wore their pink shirts to school as a unified stance against bullying.
