National Day of Mourning

Remembering those effected by workplace related injuries, illnesses and casualties

Remembering Alberta Workers on April 28

Today, the National Day of Mourning, we invite you to take a moment to remember those who have been lost, injured, or became ill from their work and to think of the impact an injury or loss would have on your and your loved ones.

This year we also acknowledge the sacrifices of frontline and essential workers who have died or become ill during the COVID-19 pandemic.
