Day of Mourning APRIL 28

In December 1990, the federal government passed the Workers Mourning Day Act, establishing April 28 as a National Day of Mourning.

As we honour those who have lost their lives or who have been forever affected by workplace injuries and illnesses, we must also find renewed purpose and strength in the fight for better workplace health and safety.

Every worker deserves to go home healthy at the end of every day.

To mark the Day of Mourning, your JHSC might hold a moment of silence, have flags lowered to half-mast, or wear and distribute memorial ribbons. To participate in a Day of Mourning event in your area, check with your local labour council or visit ufcw175. com/dayofmourning where we will post events as information becomes available.

As Union members, you have resources and support to help ensure your workplace is a healthy, safe space.

Always bring concerns or questions to your Union Stewards and Health & Safety Reps/ Committee (JHSC) immediately.

Your UFCW Locals 175 & 633 Health & Safety Department is always available to answer any questions. Reach us at 1-800565-8329 or membership@ufcw175.com.
