Day Of Mourning
MARK THE DAY
April 28th is an important day for workers all across Canada, because it represents an opportunity to pause and remember those workers who were killed and injured on the job. It offers workers, unions and employers an opportunity to mark the day with vigils, services, or candle-lighting ceremonies; unveiling monuments, flying flags at halfmast, or wearing ribbons, armbands or stickers. A moment of silence is often observed at 11:00 am.
