Day of Mourning is April 28th – Canadian Labour Congress Releases Event Locations Across the Nation

April 28th marks the National Day of Mourning to honour Canadian workers who lost their lives or were injured or made sick while working.  This most solemn day also provides an opportunity to refocus on preventing future workplace injuries and deaths. 

Every year, thousands of co-workers, friends and families of fallen workers gather at ceremonies across Canada to recognize the National Day of Mourning and to remember those killed or injured on the job. As we mourn for the dead, the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), of which IFPTE is a proud affiliate, continues to fight for the living.
