Join us at Skeleton Park on April 28, 2026, to acknowledge the National Day of Mourning. Organized by the Kingston & District Labour Council, there will be a minute of silence for those workers who have been killed or injured on the job.
From CUPE:
We mourn the loss of four members of our CUPE family in 2025:
- Miguel Escalante Ledesma, CUPE 1000, Ontario
- Nabil El-Ahmed, CUPE 5167, Ontario
- Kulbir Kalia, CUPE 3338, British Columbia
- Jose Castillo, CUPE 416, Ontario
We also mourn the very recent loss of the following members:
- Richard Anstett, CUPE 79, Ontario
- Neil Harris, CUPE 54, Ontario
We hope you will join CUPE members and workers around the world in renewing our shared commitment to preventing workplace injuries and deaths and ensuring the health and safety of all workers.
