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.

#BeKindAlways
