Anti-Bullying message at “We Day”

The fight against bullying dominated this morning at the annual “We Day” event at Rogers Arena.

Premier Christy Clark opened the show to an audience 20-thousand strong.

She told the crowd of kids to stand up for change and fight for local causes, like cancer research for Terry Fox and bullying for Amanda todd, who left a video of her story.

“And she did that because she wants each of us to remember that she needed someone to stand up, to move from me to we.”

Singer-songwriter Demi Lovato, an idol of the 15-year-old Todd, is expected to address bullying this afternoon.

This national event sponsored by “Free the Children” aims to ignite a spirit of change in children.
