Honoring Lives. Renewing Commitments.

April 28 is Canada’s National Day of Mourning—a time to remember workers who have lost their lives or suffered serious injuries or illnesses on the job. It’s also a day to recommit to building safer, stronger workplaces for everyone.

To support this important observance, SafetyNow has created a special set of resources, including a Safety Talk, downloadable infographics, and videos that help spark awareness, reflection, and real action.
