On April 26, members and employees of 15 Wing Moose Jaw gathered together to commemorate the National Day of Mourning.
Traditionally, this commemoration occurs on April 28, so on that day, the Canadian flag flew at half-mast on Parliament Hill and all federal government buildings around the country.
Employers and workers observe the Day of Mourning in various ways, such as by lighting candles, laying wreaths, wearing commemorative pins, ribbons, or black armbands, and pausing for a moment of silence.
At 15 Wing Moose Jaw, 23 candles were lit on Friday to honour the memory of 23 Saskatchewan workers who died last year in their workplace.
