Easter Seals Ontario is gearing up to celebrate the fifth annual Red Shirt Day on Wednesday. The day of action aims to promote greater accessibility and inclusion within our communities and increase awareness of the valuable contributions people with disabilities make to all aspects of life in Canada. Red Shirt Day encourages people across the country to proudly wear red as a visible demonstration of support for persons living with disabilities and their families. Since its establishment in 2019, Red Shirt Day has gained significant momentum, with a growing number of individuals and organizations sharing photos of themselves wearing red on their social media accounts each year. It is held annually on the Wednesday during National AccessAbility Week. On Wednesday, May 31,post a selfie or a group photo with friends, classmates or colleagues – all wearing red – on social media, using the hashtags #RedShirtDay, #RedForAccessAbility and tag @EasterSealsON.
