Saugeen Shores Mayor commemorates Day of Mourning

Saugeen Shores Mayor Luke Charbonneau

Today (April 28th), we remember and honour those who have died or suffered injury and illness in the workplace.  It is also a day to renew our commitment to improve safety in those places where people earn their living, and to make sure they go home healthy after a hard day’s work. 

Our Council continually works with Town staff to make sure our workplaces adhere to the highest standards and that our employees are trained to work safely and smartly so we can prevent work-related accidents and/or injuries. 

I ask that everyone – residents, employees, and employers – take time to reflect on the workers and families who have been impacted by workplace tragedy.  That’s why I’ve ordered flags on all Town properties to be lowered to half-mast today. 

Please take the time to think about those who have lost their lives and remember that everyone needs to be able to work in a place where they are safe and where they can thrive.
