International Day of Mourning - April 28

Every year, hundreds of Albertans, thousands of Canadians, and millions of workers worldwide are killed because of work. Every single one of those deaths was preventable.

To make sure their deaths are not forgotten, workers around the world have chosen April 28 as Day of Mourning. It is a chance to remember lost and injured co-workers, friends and family. It is also a day to renew our commitment to fighting for safer workplaces, so that no more workers need to make the ultimate sacrifice.
