The 30th annual national Day of Mourning goes today across the country.
Prince George will mark the occasion with a ceremony at the Worker’s Memorial Statue on Queensway starting at noon.
The day is a time where workers, families, employers and others remember those who have lost their lives to work related incidents.
Between 1993-2012 an average 902 deaths a year occurred in the workplace according to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.
National Day of Mourning originally started in 1984 in Canada and is now in 80 countries.
