"Our research shows that three-quarters of Canadian students say it's important to speak out against bullying, racism and sexism online. Unfortunately, almost half of them don't feel that it's their place to do so, and older kids are more likely than younger ones to feel this way. Shaw's #PinkShirtPromise is a vital step in showing kids that they have a right to safe and respectful online spaces and the power to create them."

Cathy Wing, Co-Executive Director, MediaSmarts
