April 28 - Day of Mourning 2026

On this Day of Mourning, CUSW urges all Canadians to remember the fallen and to stand in solidarity with those still at risk. But remembrance alone is not enough. The most meaningful tribute we can offer is action: continued vigilance, stronger protections, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring that every worker returns home safely at the end of the day.

Because one death is too many. And zero is the only acceptable goal.
