The City of Port Colborne is recognizing workers who have died or have been injured on the job.
This Wednesday marks National Day of Mourning in Canada, a day to remember workers who have lost their lives or have been injured while at work.
Flags will be lowered at City Hall in observance.
Port Colborne Mayor Bill Steele says the day is an important reminder of why workplace safety needs to be taken seriously.
"When you leave for work each day, you and your family expect you to return safely. It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure this happens. This Wednesday, as we take time to remember, we have the opportunity to renew our commitment to workplace health and safety to prevent future fatalities."
Canada has marked the day every year since 1991.
