SASKATOON — The City of Saskatoon took part in Wednesday’s Pink Shirt Day to show its commitment to working in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all and highlighted the importance of being kind and respectful of one another. By wearing a pink shirt on this day, we stand together against bullying and advocate for kindness, respect, and inclusivity,” said Transportation and Construction general manager Terry Schmidt.

The City of Saskatoon will be showing their support on the day and encouraging staff to wear pink to raise awareness and providing staff with education and tools on workplace bullying and how to report it.

Watch for Saskatoon Transit vehicles who can be spotted around the city sporting pink t-shirt decals. Roadways, Fleet and Support have also added pink shirt decals to their trucks and graders to raise awareness of the day.
