Flags lowered to half-mast at town facilities on April 28, 2024, to mark the National Day of Mourning for Persons Killed or Injured in the Workplace

Marked annually in Canada on April 28, the National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, suffered injury or illness on the job, or experienced a work-related tragedy. It’s also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace and to preventing further injuries, illnesses and deaths.

Flags at Town Hall and all municipal facilities in Oakville will be flown at half-mast, from sunrise until sunset on Sunday, April 28, 2024, to commemorate those who lost their lives, were injured on the job or experienced work-related tragedy.
