Day of Mourning 2018

 

April 27 2018, Cupe 1908 hosted a “Day of Mourning” ceremony at Marine Park, Salmon Arm.

It was a time to come together to remember those people who’s lives were lost on the job over the last year and to look towards better working conditions, so everyone has a safe place to work. We all want our family members to come home at the end of each day. We are all effected by the loss of 1 person, who went to work at the start of the day, and never returned. Remember, we all have the right to refuse unsafe work.
