The City of Penticton is inviting the public to attend the Day of Mourning ceremony on Tuesday, April 28, to remember those who have died or been injured on the job.
In 2025, 138 B.C. workers died from a workplace injury or disease. The city said the event serves to honour those who have lost their lives or suffered an injury or illness due to their work, while recognizing the importance of committing to safe, healthy and inclusive workplaces for everyone.
The event will be held at Penticton’s Gyro Park bandshell at 10 a.m., with representatives from a variety of local organizations slated to speak.
