Day of Mourning - April 28th

25/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Every year, on April 28th, we pause and remember all the workers who have been killed or seriously injured on the job.  The OPSEU Health and Unit expounds further on the meaning and significance of this day.

Labour Councils across Ontario host ceremonies to mark this solemn occasion.  You can find a list of them here.

Locally, you have a lot of options to attend:
  • The Waterloo Regional Labour Council invites you to Victoria Park in Kitchener at the Workers Memorial Monument from 10:30am-11:30am
  • Guelph & District Labour Council invites you to Goldie Mill Park in Guelph at 5:30pm
  • Orangeville & District Labour Council invites you to the flagpole in front of Orangeville Town Hall at 12:15pm.
And of course, at CMHAWWD we will all observe a minute of silence at 11:00am on Thursday.

However you choose to honour the brothers and sisters lost to, gravely injured at, or made ill from conditions at work, let us all be galvanized to action toward improving our working conditions, and the working conditions of all.
