28 April - National Day of Mourning in Canada
The date 28 April was picked because on that day in 1914, the Workers Compensation Act received its third reading. On April 28, 1985, the Canadian Labour Congress officially declared it an annual day of national remembrance. In December 1990, the Workers Mourning Day Act passed in Parliament, making April 28 as the annual Canadian National Day of Mourning.
