The likelihood of being unable to afford period products is even higher among Indigenous menstruators.

Bullying affects schools, homes, workplaces, and the digital world.
United Way Centraides invests $39.1M in kids` emotional wellbeing and partners with communities to empower youth, fostering positive relationships and safe environments where every child can thrive.
Today our team at United Way Peterborough & District proudly wears pink in recognition of #PinkShirtDay 💗
Thank you to @staplescanada for donating “Be Kind Always” shirts to United Way Centraides across the country, helping remove barriers so everyone can participate in this important day.
Pink Shirt Day is about more than a colour. It’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and safe. It’s about standing up to bullying and standing up for one another.
We’re grateful to work alongside partners who don’t just talk about belonging — they actively invest in it. Kindness matters. Inclusion matters. Community matters.
Their leadership and support helps ensure that our incredibly talented local musicians are fairly compensated for sharing their time, creativity, and artistry with us. 🎶
