The North Okanagan Labour Council’s annual Day of Mourning ceremony is moving to a new location.
The event, which pays tribute to workers who were killed and injured on the job, will begin at noon April 28 at the Rise Memorial Garden in Knowles Heritage Park.
The Garden, a memorial to the five men killed in a 2021 downtown Kelowna crane collapse, opened last summer at Ethel Street and Bernard Avenue.
The memorial project was launched by the labour council before being turned over to a foundation.
The theme for the Day of Mourning across Canada this year is Psychological Health and Safety is Occupational Health and Safety.
The NOLC teams up with WorkSafeBC to put on the event.
