BC Place glows orange for National Day of Mourning

April 28th, 2019

BC Place will light up orange on April 28th for National Day of Mourning.

Last year, 131 BC workers died from a workplace injury or disease. Across Canada, April 28 has been designated the Day of Mourning. As workers, families, employers, and communities come together at ceremonies held around the province to remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational disease, it's a time to renew our commitment to creating healthy and safe workplaces.
