The ceremony will take place on Sunday, April 27 at 11 a.m. at the U Siyam Pavilion Park Workers’ Monument in Downtown Squamish.
Day of Mourning is a national event organized by labour groups, unions and municipalities across the country who come together to remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational disease. In Squamish, the Workers' Monument in Pavilion Park includes the names of local residents who have lost their lives on the job, including firefighters, loggers, RCMP members and others.
