Every year, the Day of Mourning is observed on April 28 to pay tribute to those who have died or been injured at work.
The Day of Mourning offers employees and employers the opportunity to publicly renew their commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace.
Last year, 24 families in Nova Scotia were forever changed when 24 people died at work or because of their work.
One fatality is simply too many - the cost too great.
The Nova Scotia Federation of Labour (NSFL), WCB Nova Scotia (WCB) and the Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI), in partnership with Threads of Life, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting families affected by workplace tragedy, ask you to join us to pause and remember all those who have suffered a workplace injury or death. We must remain vigilant in our efforts to work together to continue to reduce the impact of workplace injury in Nova Scotia.
