National Day of Mourning 2013

NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING

From April 26, 2013 to April 29, 2013, Labour Councils across Ontario invite you to join them and honour those who have lost their lives, been injured or became ill, due to their work.

The number of people killed at work each year in Canada has risen for the past 15 years. This is in contrast to almost every other OECD country where the incidence of workplace fatalities is declining. In 2007, according to the latest report from the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada, 1,055 people lost their lives at work.
