Municipalities across the region will mark the day
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati says flags at all city run facilities will be flown today at half mast in tribute to those who have died or were injured while on the job.
The falls will be illuminated in yellow tonight to remember and pay tribute to the families affected by these tragic losses.
Port Colborne Mayor Bill Steele says "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. As we take time to remember, we have the opportunity to renew our commitment to workplace health and safety to prevent future fatalities."
