Barb Pasternak (upper left) feels strongly about bullying. She was also moved when at a recent event some members of Osoyoos Special Olympics bowling group admired her pink anti-bullying t-shirt. So she decided to dig into her own pockets and buy 50 pink anti-bullying shirts so that every member of the Special Olympics bowling group could have one in time for Pink Shirt Day, Feb. 27. Lee Chic, local co-ordinator with South Okanagan Special Olympics, said those with developmental disabilities are especially vulnerable to bullying at school. “Some of the parents have told me how horrible it was for them,” Chic said. Schools will also be promoting Pink Shirt Day Wednesday.
