April 28th is a very important day. It is the day we commemorate workers whose lives have been lost or injured in the workplace. This National Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28, was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, though its beginning was launched eight years earlier by the Canadian Labour Congress.
May 17 is marked worldwide as the day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia.
National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) takes place every year starting on the last Sunday in May. It is a time when accessibility and inclusion is promoted across communities and workplaces and a time to celebrate the contributions of Canadians with disabilities. It is also an opportunity to recognize the efforts of Canadians who are actively removing barriers and ensuring persons with disabilities have an equal chance to participate in all aspects of Canadian society.
