Day of Mourning
—
On April 28, we honour and pay our respects to those who have lost their lives, been injured, or became ill due to work-related incidents. Day of Mourning is a powerful reminder for all of us to renew our commitment to improving health and safety in our workplaces and prevent further work-related injuries and deaths.
Sadly, Alberta lost 165 people to work-related injury or illness in 2019.
Every year, the ACSA and its eight Regional Safety Committees (RSCs) co-host ceremonies and activities to pay tribute. During the events, we remember and observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m.
