Since the 1980s, Canada’s labour movement has observed every April 28 as the Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. In 1990, Canada’s Parliament officially recognized the National Day of Mourning, and since then the tradition has spread to more than 100 countries.
The Day of Mourning is a day to honour the memory of those workers who have died, and to stand up for safe and healthy jobs.
