On April 28, 2008, Minister Olga Ilich attended the ceremony of remembrance in Vancouver’s Hastings Park, part of the annual Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job. The minister said the day marks an opportunity to reflect on the importance of health and safety in the workplace and to commemorate those whose lives were tragically cut short. Ilich noted significant achievements during the past year to improve worker safety, including new protections for farm workers, implementation of “Grant’s Law” to protect gas station attendants, and WorkSafeBC’s Working Alone regulations for late-night retail workers. The minister urged British Columbians to work together to ensure that all workers return home safely to their families each day.
