Every year on April 28, workers, families, employers, and others come together to remember those who have lost their lives on the job, and to renew our commitment to creating healthier and safer workplaces.
The 2022 Day of Mourning Vancouver ceremony took place at Jack Poole Plaza to remember the 161 B.C. workers who died in 2021 from workplace injury and disease.
Every worker has the right to return home safe and healthy at the end of their work day.
