Every year, WorkSafeBC, the B.C. Federation of Labour, and the Business Council of British Columbia co-host a public ceremony to remember workers who have lost their lives as a result of work-related accidents or occupational diseases.
This year, the Day of Mourning ceremony will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 10:30 a.m., on the southwest side of the Vancouver Convention Centre (1055 Canada Place). Families, workers, employers, and other interested parties are invited to attend.
