The National Day of Mourning (or Workers’ Mourning Day) is marked annually in Canada on April 28 to remember those who have lost their lives or suffered injury or illness on the job or due to a work-related tragedy. The day of observance originated in Canada in 1984 and is now recognized annually in over 100 countries. It is also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses, and deaths.

¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®'s Health, Safety, and Environment department promotes an internal responsibility system that expects all workplace parties to collaborate on identifying, assessing, and managing all workplace hazards and risks. ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® Health, Safety, and Environment provides oversight and guidance to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety legislation on PEI.

The ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® will observe the National Day of Mourning by flying the flags near Kelley Memorial Building and at ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® Alumni Canada Games Place at half-mast.
