2024 Day of Mourning

July 7, 2024

Lake Ontario was the beautiful back drop as the Northumberland Labour Council held its National Day of Mourning event at Lucas Point Park in Cobourg. Small crowd gathered and braved the steady rain to hear a series of speakers who all delivered different speeches but, in the end, had the same message “Safe Work Now”.

Our amazing speakers were:

Marsha Smoke, Alderville First Nation
Adam Bureau, Cobourg Councilor
Claire Holloway – Wadhwani – Deputy Mayor Port Hope
Mandy Martin Mayor of Cramahe Township
Brian Ostrander – Warden of Northumberland, Mayor of Brighton
Charlene Clarke President USW 13173
Ahmad Gaied, Secretary Treasurer OFL
Ellen Simmons WHSC
Dan Tobin, President Northumberland Labour Council
