The National Day of Mourning is recognized in over 100 different countries across the world, Canada being one of them. Ron Oldfield of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour tells CHSJ News that in this year alone we've had seven fatalities in the province.
Oldfield tells us that this day has a lot of resonance in an industrial city like Saint John. They're having a memorial service at Lily Lake, where there is a monument dedicated to injured workers on Sunday, April 28 at noon.
