Day of Mourning

The DAY OF MOURNING is a national day of awareness, where we remember all those who lost their lives while at work.  Every year on April 28th, Vancouver Secondary Schools join high schools in BC and across Canada in creating this awareness to give young workers the confidence to know their rights as workers and stand up for a safe working environment.
