April 3, 2025 – Hamilton, ON – Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
On April 28, workplaces in Canada will come together to observe the National Day of Mourning, a day dedicated to honour workers who have lost their lives, suffered injuries, or experienced an illness due to a work-related incident. This annual event also marks a time where we can commit to protecting workers and preventing further workplace tragedies.
The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) encourages individuals, workplaces, and communities to take a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. on April 28 to honour the memory of those lost and to reflect on the importance of fostering a culture of health and safety in every workplace.
More information about the National Day of Mourning, including resources to help spread awareness, is available at www.ccohs.ca/events/mourning.
“The National Day of Mourning is not only about remembrance, but also an opportunity to create awareness and focus on prevention to ensure health and safety is a priority in every workplace.”
- Anne Tennier, President and Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
