City to lower flags in recognition of National Day of Mourning

The National Day of Mourning is observed annually on April 28. In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will fly at half-mast for the day.

The National Day of Mourning was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991 and commemorates workers who have been killed, injured or suffered illness due to workplace-related hazards and incidents. 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.

The City of Saskatoon is committed to safety in all we do. The National Day of Mourning is an opportunity to create important awareness about workplace safety and our organization’s commitment to ensure every employee goes home safe and healthy at the end of every workday.
