On April 28, we gather to mourn workers who have been killed, injured, or made ill because of workplace hazards or incidents – and recognize the lasting impact on their families and communities. Attend vigils on April 28 in Regina (City Hall at 5:30 p.m.), Moose Jaw (Union Centre at 6:00 p.m.), Saskatoon (Civic Square at 6:00 p.m.), and Weyburn (T.C. Douglas Calvary Centre at 5:30 p.m.).
