So what topics or guests should I have on the show in the coming days or weeks?

Reply here or on my Facebook page.

As you can see, my good friend Dave Teixeira with Dave.ca Communications Inc. has revamped the website.

After a couple years, it was getting stale so I am happy to have some new style. All sorts of new feeds, etc. will keep the website more up-to-date.

For 2010 we decided to move from our usual “last Wednesday of February” date for Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day in order to avoid conflicting with the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games scheduled for late February and early March of 2010. This way we ensure we get as much media focus and participation as possible from our home base of Vancouver, BC.

So mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 14, 2010 when we hold our Third Annual Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day.

For 2010, all 104 of the Boys & Girls Clubs in Canada will be participating in Pink Shirt Day and we anticipate adding more partners to make this the biggest anti-bullying awareness day in North America – if not the world!
