PG’s Day of Mourning ceremony commemorated workers seriously injured or killed on the job.

In 2017, there were two work-related deaths in the RDFFG and 158 across the province.

“Every year the ceremony tends to grow. It brings awareness to many more people, and to that many more people, more networking takes place.”

– Don Iwaskow, North Central Labour Council

WorkSafeBC says asbestos continues to be the number-one cause of workplace deaths, with 87 causes last year in BC.
