We at the LOC are gearing up for a couple of very busy weeks, starting with the National Day of Mourning on April 28. We will be observing the virtual ceremony hosted by WSIB (WSIB Day of Mourning) beginning at 10:45 a.m. followed by a Moment of Silence at 11 a.m.
The League of Champions are encouraging all members to organize a Safety Stand Down and observe a Moment of Silence at 11 a.m. to honour all who have suffered a workplace death, injury or illness, and show our support for their families, friends and colleagues whose lives have been changed by these devastating occurrences.

If you or a loved one has been affected by a workplace death, injury or illness, The Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support, known as Threads of Life, may be able to help. They provide services like grief counselling, crisis intervention support and health coping skills development.
