On June 1st every year, Injured Workers’ Day is an opportunity to recognize the individuals who have suffered injuries and fatalities as a result of their workplace conditions, but it is also a time to rally and celebrate the gains made through united action, raise current concerns, and remind governments we cannot be ignored. The day commemorates June 1st, 1983 when over three thousand injured workers forced a government committee looking at major changes to Ontario’s workers’ compensation system to conduct a public hearing on the steps of the Legislature.

April 22, 2024

Marked annually in Canada on April 28th, the National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives or suffered injury or illness due to a workplace tragedy. First held in 1984 by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the Day of Mourning was adopted officially by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1986. More than 100 countries now observe the Day too. The observance of this day is meant to honour the lives of workers lost, but it is also a collective committment to improving health and safety conditions in the workplace, and to prevent further injuries, illnesses, and deaths.
