Join BWG in Celebrating Red Shirt Day 2025

The Town of BWG invites residents to take part in Red Shirt Day on Wednesday, May 28. Held each year during National AccessAbility Week (May 25–31), this day is a meaningful way to show support for people with disabilities and to promote a more accessible and inclusive community for everyone.

The day was initiated by Easter Seals Canada and encourages individuals, schools, organizations, and communities to wear red shirts and make a personal commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Whether it's removing barriers, advocating for equal opportunities, or simply listening and learning, the day is about more than just a colour, it’s about meaningful change.

Red Shirt Day is also an opportunity to educate ourselves and others on how to support people with disabilities. Want to learn how to be a respectful and effective ally?
