You might have seen flags at half-mast in Moose Jaw yesterday.  

Sunday, April 28 was the National Day of Mourning in Canada – a day to remember the lives of those lost to injuries and illnesses related to the workplace.  

The Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board accepted 29 fatality claims last year. 

15 Wing observed the National Day of Mourning with a candle-lighting ceremony on Friday, April 26.
