The City of Medicine Hat will mark the National Day of Mourning at a public memorial service at the Medicine Hat Memorial Arboretum on Sunday, April 28 at 11 a.m.
The observance remembers workers whose lives were lost in the workplace and acknowledges those who were disabled, injured, or afflicted with industrial disease.
In 2023, Alberta mourned the loss of 165 individuals to work-related injuries or illnesses.
Those who are able are encouraged to attend the event or mark the day with a moment of silence at 11 a.m.
