On December 6, we observe the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The day marks the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, who were killed because of their gender.
Mental Health Awareness Week (October 6-12) is a time to raise awareness and educate the public about the reality of mental illness. This week coincides with World Mental Health Day on October 10.
We join with labour and social justice organizations from across Ontario to recognize Injured Workers’ Day and stand up for those who have been injured or made ill as a result of their work.
We remember and honour those who have been injured, made ill or killed while on the job due to workplace hazards or incidents.
This year’s theme is “Preventing and Responding to Violence-Related Incidents in the Workplace.”
Every year millions of Canadians suffer RSIs and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that seriously impact their quality of life. We need to raise awareness so these injuries can be prevented.
