Since April 1991, the National Day of Mourning has been marked by various events across Canada to remember workers killed or injured on the job or who suffer from work-related illnesses.

Each year on April 28th, a Fishermen’s Memorial Service is held at Garry Point Park in Steveston to remember those in the commercial fishing industry who have been lost while at sea.

Everyone is welcome to join the service at the Fishermen’s Memorial (net needle sculpture) at 11am.
