Celebrate Red Shirt Day!
Red Shirt Day is a national day of action that celebrates accessibility, inclusion, and the abilities of people with disabilities. Communities across British Columbia are encouraged to participate by wearing red and showing support for a more inclusive society.
Observed during National AccessAbility Week, Red Shirt Day invites individuals, workplaces, schools, and local governments to reflect on how we can reduce barriers and create welcoming spaces for everyone. Wearing a red shirt is a simple but meaningful way to spark conversations about accessibility and inclusion.
