HALIFAX, N.S. — Families of those who have died on the job and people injured or sick because of their work, along with political and union leaders, met outside Province House on Friday during the National Day of Mourning. The annual event to honour the memories of those who lost their lives in workplaces has been observed since 1984 and has been commemorated at Province House since the early 2000s. Last year, 24 workers in Nova Scotia died in the workplace or because of their work.
