    Alberta Day of Mourning Ceremony to Honour Workers Killed at Work - Canada Newswire
    The Alberta Federation of Labour, the Edmonton and District Labour Council and the Alberta Building Trades Council are hosting a ceremony to remember the 143 workers killed at work in 2005.

    '2005 was the worst year for workplace death in a quarter-century,' says AFL President Gil McGowan. 'Day of Mourning is essential to remind us of the work that remains to make workplaces safer in Alberta.'
