On April 28, workers, families, and employers will gather at commemorative ceremonies across the province to honour the 175 B.C. workers who lost their lives last year due to workplace injury and disease. When you lose a loved one, the pain never goes away. Join us as we reflect on those we’ve lost, and renew our commitment to creating healthy and safe workplaces for everyone. Whether you’re an employer, supervisor, prime contractor, or worker, you have a role to play in keeping the workplace safe. A public Day of Mourning ceremony will take place at Jack Poole Plaza in downtown Vancouver on Sunday, April 28th at 10:30 a.m., with the Olympic Cauldron being lit in honour of the day. A livestream of the event will be available at dayofmourning.bc.ca. For a list of ceremonies taking place around the province, please visit dayofmourning.bc.ca.
