- I now announce the second Thursday of every September to be "Stand Up Against Bullying Day."
- In recognition of the two boys, Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald declared "Stand Up Against Bulling Day" would take place on the second Thursday of every September. The other provinces of Canada followed MacDonald's lead in breaking the barrier and proclaimed anti-bullying and pink shirt days to occur yearly. Since then, many countries have marked specific days for raising awareness for bullying.
