An estimated 1,600 Delta elementary students are expected to descend on Sungod Arena this morning for Pink Shirt Day.
They'll be at the North Delta rink for the Battle of the Badges, a hockey game between the Delta police and fire departments that will also spread an anti-bullying message.
Many of the students are expected to bring signs they have made spreading their antibullying message.
The chosen theme for the day, which will be highlighted throughout the event on social media, is #CHOOSEKINDNESS.
"Battle of the Badges is a fun way to send this important message to our young people and hopefully it rises up to the adults as well," said police Chief Neil Dubord. "We can all use a little encouragement to #CHOOSEKINDNESS and celebrate our diversity and have unity in that diversity."
