#ERASEbullying in Sport
#ERASEbullying in sport campaign was first launched on Pink Shirt Day in 2017. It provided the B.C. sport sector an avenue to showcase its commitment to promoting positive, respectful, engaging, accessible and inclusive environments for all participants, and to ensuring a safe sport culture for all British Columbians.
On February 22, 2017 provincial sport organizations were invited to come together to celebrate the Province’s first Declaration of Commitment to erase bullying in sport throughout B.C. The support was outstanding:
- 95 provincial, local, national and multi-sport organizations signed this Declaration of Commitment
- 800 individual citizens took the online pledge
The #ERASEbullying campaign is now an annual initiative, taking place on Pink Shirt Day each year, so stay tuned for details on upcoming viaSport #ERASEbullying campaign details.
If we stand together, we can erase bullying in sport.
