Marked annually in Canada on April 28, the Day of Mourning is a day to remember and honour those lives lost or injured due to a workplace tragedy. It’s also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace and to preventing further injuries, illnesses and deaths.
Athabasca County will be lowering its flags to half-mast to commemorate the 144 workers lost through work-related injury or illness in 2025. We recognize the deep and lasting impact these losses have on families, friends, colleagues and communities—forever changing lives.
