Red Shirt Day (of Action for Accessibility and Inclusion) 2022

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 in order to create a visible display of solidarity: 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 was started by Easter Seals Canada in 2019, and takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year. In 2022, Red Shirt Day will take place on June 1st. On that day, Canadians are invited to wear red and post a selfie or a group photo with family members, friends, classmates or colleagues – along with their pledges to accessibility and inclusion – on social media with the hashtags: #RedShirtDay, #RedForAccessAbility, #EasterSeals.
