Red Shirt Day® is on June 3, 2026
What is Red Shirt Day®?
Red Shirt Day® of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion is a day when people across Canada come together and wear red to create a visible display of solidarity: to show their support for people with disabilities and their families. On this day, we celebrate the achievements of Canadians with disabilities, and to pledge their commitment to help create a fully accessible and inclusive society.
Red Shirt Day® is an Easter Seals initiative and was first celebrated in 2019. It takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year.
#RedShirtDay #RedForAccessAbility
Anyone can take part in Red Shirt Day®. Put on your favourite red shirt, take some photos and make a pledge to help improve accessibility and inclusion in your community. Then post your photos and your pledge on social media with the hashtags. #RedShirtDay #RedForAccessAbility
