Red Shirt Day

Red Shirt Day (of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion) is a day when people across Canada come together and wear red in schools, workplaces and spaces everywhere to show their support for persons and families who are living with disabilities, celebrate the achievements of people living with disabilities, and to pledge their commitment to help create a fully accessible and inclusive society that honours and values the contributions of people of all abilities in all aspects of life in Canada. Red Shirt Day takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year. In 2022, Red Shirt Day will take place on Wednesday, June 1 during National AccessAbility Week (Sunday, May 29 to Saturday, June 4). On Wednesday, June 1st, 2022, post a selfie or a group photo of you with your friends, classmates or colleagues – all wearing red – on social media with the hashtags: #RedShirtDay #RedForAccessAbility
