It's year 2 for the annual Day of Mourning ceremony remembering those injured or killed on the job in the province at the Hatheway Pavillion at Lily Lake.
Pat Riley of the International Longshoreman Association tells CHSJ News the observance has spread internationally to dozens of countries, who will hold ceremonies similar to that here in Saint John.
There will be a ceremony today attended by 30 unions and family members in honour of people who lost their lives at work. Sharon Tucker from WorkSafe NB will say a few words.
