National Day of Mourning in Canada
Today is the National Day of Mourning in Canada.
We pause to remember and honour workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill as a result of their work. It’s a day to reflect, to support the families and communities left behind, and to renew our shared commitment to workplace health and safety.
No job is worth a life. Let’s keep looking out for one another today and every day.
Please observe one minute of silence at 11:00 am in memory of workers who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace.
