Miner's Memorial Day
June 21, 2003 ceremony at the grave of labour martyr Ginger Goodwin, on the 18th annual Miner's Memorial Day in Cumberland, British Columbia, Canada.
Workers' Memorial Day started in Sudbury, Ontario to commemorate the lives of four miners killed in a rock burst on June 20, 1984.
In 1986, in the village of Cumberland, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, the Cumberland and District Historical Society held its first Miners' Memorial Day. This day was conceived as a way to pay tribute to Cumberland's mining heritage which lasted from the turn of the century to the early 1960's.
