Today marks the National Day of Mourning.
It is not just a date on the calendar. It is a solemn reminder of the workers who have been injured, made ill, or lost their lives because of their work, and a time to remember, honour, and recommit ourselves to preventing further workplace tragedies.
Many of these tragedies have occurred in the construction and industrial sectors where we work every day. These industries are essential, but they also carry real risk.
At AJC, safety is not just a policy. It is a promise to our colleagues, our families, our clients, and the communities we serve. It is woven into how we plan, how we operate, and how we look out for one another.
Safety is not the responsibility of a few. It is the responsibility of all.
Today at 11:00 a.m., we encourage everyone to pause. Reflect on the lives impacted. Think about the choices we make each day. Consider the role each of us plays in creating safer workplaces, safer job sites, and safer outcomes.
