UPEI to lower flags on April 28 for National Day of Mourning

UPEI will be recognizing the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or seriously injured on the job by lowering the flags on campus to half-mast on Thursday, April 28. The National Day of Mourning is not only a day to remember and honour those lives lost or injured due to a workplace tragedy, but also a day to renew the commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths. The Day of Mourning was first recognized in Canada in 1984, and has been marked in over 100 countries.
