Nearly 2,000 students swarmed a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Giants home game Sunday night at the Pacific Coliseum to draw attention to a global anti-bullying campaign. The flash mob started when two girls in pink shirts with "acceptance" written across the chest danced a choreographed routine to One Direction's "What Makes you Beautiful" during the second period of the hockey game. Behind them, hundreds of students from Churchill, Eric Hamber, Gladstone, David Lloyd George, MacCorkindale, Chief Maquinna and Nootka fell in line and danced along. In the stands, the students tore off jackets and sweaters until they were a single horde, united by the pop song and their dance moves. Pink is the symbolic colour for Anti-Bullying Day, recognized internationally on Feb. 27, and also known as Pink Shirt Day. The Giants prepared the video and released a statement thanking all the students and organizers who took part. View the video online at vancourier. com/sports
