Ceremonies to mark National Day of Mourning

Many flags are lowered to half-mast on Monday in recognition of the National Day of Mourning.

The day commemorates workers who have died, been injured or suffered illness from work-related incidents.

It also honours the families and friends who have been affected by these tragedies.

Fourteen New Brunswick workers were killed and hundreds more were injured in 2024.

Ceremonies are taking place in several communities throughout the province on Monday.

In Saint John, a noon-hour ceremony will take place at the Frank & Ella Hatheway Labour Exhibit Centre in Rockwood Park.

Meanwhile, the Moncton & District Labour Council will hold a noon-hour ceremony at the Cenotaph in Bore Park.
