Annual Day of Mourning
/in Did you know?, Labour Movement, WRLC/by Tracy CochraneThe National Day of Mourning is an important day for Canada’s unions and for workers across the country. Ceremonies and events allow workers and families to come together to mourn for the dead and recommit to our fight for the living.
On April 28, join us in remembering those workers who were injured, made sick or killed because of something that happened at work, and in demanding better, starting with better enforcement of the Westray Law. This is part of how we honour those we’ve lost and those harmed on the job.
LOCATION: Worker’s Monument, Riverside Park, Cambridge
DATE: Sunday, April 28, 2024
TIME: 10:30 am

There’s an underlying intention to rezone this land for industrial use and embark on a significant development project. The scale of this project is so immense that discussions about it have been silenced within the township and regional council levels.
