April 28 is the National Day of Mourning. Each year, we are reminded that this day is not just to remember and honour those lives lost or injured due to a workplace tragedy. It is also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths. This renewed commitment is relevant now, more than ever.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the OGCA is encouraging you to consider holding or supporting a virtual event. You can find more information about the Day of Mourning here.
