Honouring Workplace Deaths
The Nanaimo Duncan and District Labour Council asks area residents to join them at Pioneer Plaza to help commemorate the Day of Mourning on Thursday April 28, 2011.
The Day of Mourning, which remembers those who have lost their lives due to their jobs is a worldwide event observed by unions, cental labour bodies, labour councils, municipalities and national governments in nearly 100 countries.
Last year 143 workers in British Columbia lost their lives as a result of workplace injuries or occupational diseases.
The Nanaimo ceremony will be at 1:30 pm in Pioneer Plaza on Front Street on April 28. More information or to get a Day of Mourning Flag to display call the labour council office at 250-760-0547.
