National Day Of Mourning April 28th, 2012

Chris - There are many "officially" Recognized days throughout the year that have meaning to someone. This particular day has a great deal of meaning to Barrie as he worked for some time in the Commercial Industrial Construction Industry.

There have been a lot of improvements over the years but many workers suffer from illnesses that they know are work related they just can't prove it as the incidents that were the root cause were never reported or recorded properly years ago.

Now Recognized in about 80 countries around the world the National Day of mourning was first recognized by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1984, on the 70th anniversary of Ontario's Workers Compensation Act, and officially acknowledge by the Canadian Parliament by way of legislation in February of 1991
