Premier David Eby has issued the following statement in recognition of National Day of Mourning: Going to work should be a safe, routine activity. Yet every year, hundreds of British Columbians are hurt or killed on the job. On National Day of Mourning, we remember the workers who have died, were injured or became ill as a result of their job. We also renew our commitment to protecting workers and preventing workplace tragedies. In 2024, 146 B.C. workers died due to workplace illnesses or injuries. My heart goes out to their loved ones and their communities. …Today, we honour those we have lost, alongside their loved ones and colleagues. And, in their memory, we recommit to ensuring that no one ever has to pay the ultimate price, just for a paycheque.
