National Day of Mourning

The National Day of Mourning is held annually in Canada and other countries around the world on April 28. On this day, workers, families, employers and others honour those workers who have lost their lives, been injured, suffered illness, or experienced work-related tragedies on the job.

Campus flags will be flown at half-mast on April 28 to commemorate this important day.

Let us continue to work together to renew our efforts to continually improve health and safety in the workplace. We must all commit to protect workers and prevent further workplace tragedies.
