2026 National Day of Mourning

On April 28th, across Canada, we take the day to remember all of those who left for work and came home sick from working conditions, disabled from workplace accidents, or never came home at all.

Each year the Niagara Regional Labour Council takes time to have observances at memorials at accident sites and city halls across the region.

Please join us at the closest memorial to yourself, or any you are able to attend.
