National Day Of Mourning
Today was about remembering the workers we’ve lost and why this work matters. Safety has to mean more than just physical. Mental health is part of it, and we cannot ignore that. on April 28th, 1984 the Canadian Labour Congress established the National Day of Mourning in Canada. The day was set to and remember those who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace. Until the day when there are zero workplace injuries or deaths we need to remember.
