At a time when many Canadian families are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we also remember and honour those colleagues, friends and family members who became ill, were injured or lost their lives in a workplace tragedy.
Annually, on April 28, Canadians mark the National Day of Mourning not only to remember, but also to renew a commitment to improving workplace health and safety, and to preventing further illnesses, injuries and deaths.
The flags on Carleton’s campus will fly at half-mast, as will the Canadian flags on Parliament Hill and on all federal government buildings.
Today the Day of Mourning is marked in more than 100 countries around the world. Now more than ever, we all need to do our part to keep ourselves, and others safe.
Michel Piché, Vice-President (Finance and Administration)
Nancy Delcellier, Director, Environmental Health and Safety
