| VIU Student Art Exhibition Explores Questions About Diversity and Common Experiences | March 10, 2020 - 12:18pm |
The Gallery’s latest exhibit, Puzzle: An Exhibition of Student Drawings, asks questions about who we are, how we got here and how we express ourselves. The exhibit focuses on routes ̶ how we get to our destination or travel through life; and roots ̶ where we come from and some of the social, cultural and political influences in our lives. Christine Battye, Assistant Curator for The View Gallery, says Puzzle is an opportunity to consider the diverse challenges people may face and one of the goals is to talk about diversity and create a dialogue that transcends the gallery walls. |

| Pink shirt day | February 4, 2020 - 9:48am |
Pink shirt day or anti-bullying day, which originated in Nova Scotia, Canada, is a day when people wear mainly pink shirts to symbolize that they are against bullying. The original event was organized by David Shepherd, Travis Price, and a few friends, who bought a bunch of pink shirts and distributed after seeing a grade 9 student bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.
In 2020 in Canada, Pink Shirt day observes on February 26. The focus is to "lift each other up".
