With tomorrow being the National Day of Mourning, the President of the United Steelworkers Local 6-1-6-6 spoke to Arctic Radio about how Thompson can honour those who were killed, injured, or suffered illnesses while at work.

Warren Luky says the flag at the union building will be flown at half-mast, and that Vale has agreed to have a moment of silence before every shift and talk about the Day of Mourning.

While there won’t be a service held in town to commemorate the National Day of Mourning, Luky encourages residents to tune into a virtual service tomorrow morning to recognize workers who died on the job.

"We’d like to invite everybody to join the Manitoba Federation of Labour ceremony by MFL president, Kevin Rebeck by visiting Facebook dot com at Manitoba Labour at eleven am tomorrow."

Tune in to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon for more on the National Day of Mourning.
