In Canada, the national Day of Mourning is observed on April 28 each year to remember workers who have been killed, injured or suffered occupational disease on the job.
Last year in British Columbia 144 workers lost their lives to workplace injury or disease.
Please join us in paying tribute to fallen workers and raising awareness about creating healthy and safe workplaces.

The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows Board of Education (SD42) has initiated the process for the potential disposal of Alouette River Campus, 23121-132 Avenue, Maple Ridge. The site is not currently used and is too small to accommodate a new school.
As a part of the process, the board is undertaking a broad consultation and would like to receive your input on the potential disposal of this property and/or hear about your interest in acquiring the site.
Please address all comments before February 28, 2017 to the attention of Karen Yoxall, executive assistant to the Board of Education at yourinput@sd42.ca.
All comments will be summarized and presented to the board. Once the board has reviewed all feedback, it may apply to the Minister of Education for approval to dispose of the site. Should the board apply to the Minister and receive approval to proceed, a public disposal process will be undertaken. Any person or agency who has expressed an interest in acquiring this property will be notified of the process steps and timelines at that time.
