An anti-bullying flash mob was expected to include over 1,000 students and BC Lions quarterback Travis Lulay at North Delta Secondary yesterday afternoon.
Participants were to be from Sands Secondary as well as McCloskey, Jarvis, Hellings, Gibson and Annieville elementary schools.
The purpose of the initiative was to raise awareness for the anti-bullying message, explains organizer Sean Bindra.
This is the third time Bindra has organized an anti-bullying flash mob, with the support of the Shiamak Vancouver Dance Team.
"We all have a responsibility to stand up against bullying no matter what form it takes. It can be physical, verbal, cyber or social bullying and each form can have a negative impact on individuals," says Bindra.
"We need to celebrate our differences and support one another. Our differences are what make us strong and therefore, we need to encourage each other to be ourselves."
