National Day of Mourning
Today we observe National Day of Mourning. We remember the thousands of workers who have died, were injured, or suffered illness on the job or due to a work-related incident. We also honour the families, friends and co-workers whose lives are forever changed by these events.
Collectively, we can prevent worker injuries and deaths before they occur. We commit to protecting workers and preventing workplace tragedies as everyone has the right to return home safe at the end of each workday.
For more information on the National Day of Mourning, visit the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety website.
To commemorate National Day of Mourning in the Municipality of Port Hope, the flags at Town Hall have been lowered to the half mast position.
