Day of Mourning • April 28, 2013
Across Canada, April 28 has been designated the Day of Mourning, a time when workers, families, employers, and others come together to remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational diseases.
Every year, WorkSafeBC, the B.C. Federation of Labour, and the Business Council of British Columbia co-host a public ceremony to honour the occasion.
This year the Vancouver ceremony was held on Friday, April 26, at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Jack Poole Plaza area, at 10:30 a.m.
