National Day Of Mourning

,

Communities across the region are marking the National Day of Mourning today (Tuesday) for workers killed or injured in the line of duty.

There won’t be any in-person ceremonies this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The Kenora and District Labour Council is asking the public to light a candle in honour and reflection of those who have lost their lives on the work site.

The day is also meant to renew a commitment to improve health and safety and prevent further injuries, illnesses and death.
