Family and friends remember the life of Roger Huber, a Saskatchewan man who died at work on April 27 in Estevan.

Flags at all government buildings in Saskatchewan will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday to mark the National Day of Mourning.

In 2018, 131 people died in workplace accidents or occupational diseases, including exposure to asbestos.

Regina joined several cities across the country Saturday, honouring workers who have been injured or killed on the job as part of the National Day of Mourning.

Dozens of people attended the event meant to commemorate people who have died, been injured, or developed an illness while working or due to their jobs.

This is the first National Day of Mourning since the tragic events of December 14, when a helicopter crash near Tweed took the lives of four Hydro One workers.

Ahead of the National Day of Mourning, Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said the province will do more work to reduce workplace injuries at small companies.

In Saskatchewan, 27 people died from workplace-related injuries or illnesses in 2017. The Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) recently reported that more than 22,000 people were injured at work in the same year.

The mother of a New Brunswick man killed in a workplace accident in Alberta says she wants to see change in other provinces when it comes to sentencing.

Candles were lit, wreaths laid and commemorative pins, ribbons and black armbands were worn to remember thousands of workers killed, injured and suffering illnesses from work-related incidents.
