Statement from Mayor Adrian Foster on National Day of Mourning

Clarington, Ontario – As we mark National Day of Mourning, Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster has issued the following statement.

“Today, on the National Day of Mourning, we remember and honour the workers who have been killed or injured on the job and keep their loved ones in our thoughts. We pause to pay tribute to all those who were killed, injured, or made ill because of workplace accidents.

On behalf of Clarington Council, I want to express our sympathy and support to all those who live with the trauma of these tragedies. Clarington’s flags will be lowered to half-mast to remember those who have died, been injured, or suffered illness in the workplace.

As we mourn today, we also renew our commitment to making our workplaces safer and healthier for everyone. By working together, we can prevent worker injuries and fatalities in the future.”
