Join us in honouring the memory of those who lost their lives to workplace injury or disease on April 28.

April 28 has been designated the national Day of Mourning, a time when we all come together to remember those who have lost their lives due to work-related incidents or occupational diseases. Last year 158 workers died as a result of their work.

Sadly, in a recent three-week period alone, 11 more workers in British Columbia died while at work. These deaths are not isolated to a specific industry or workplace; they happened in construction, forestry, marine, tourism, and transportation — and in locations throughout the province.

Fish Safe will be attending the Day of Mourning event at Steveston Fisherman's Memorial.
