March for Workers Injured and Killed on the Job.

Join the East Van Workers Assembly at Thornton Park (1166 Main St.), for our commemoration of the National Day of Mourning for workers injured and killed on the job. April 28th is the national Day of Mourning for workers killed and seriously injured in the workplace. Beginning in Ontario in the Mid 1980s, the Day of Mourning was adopted nationwide in 1991, and it has been observed by more than 100 countries since. The ‘Day of Mourning BC’ official website describes the event in these terms, “Every year, on April 28, workers, families, employers, and others come together at events held around the province to remember those who have lost their lives on the job, and to renew our commitment to creating safer workplaces.”

The return of David Rovics with Guests

Angry, funny, inspiring...these words come to mind when describing the songwriting and performance of David Rovics. He's been in Vancouver multiple times, and each time some money is raised for a useful cause. In this case the funds will go to support legal fees for Indigenous land defenders.

David will be joined by the Gram Partisans, a five-member group dedicated to beautiful and political music, and the stalwart Solidarity Notes Choir which has sung at countless protests in solidarity with people in struggle for a better world.

The concert will take place at the 411 Seniors' Centre, 3502 Fraser St (at 19th), and entry is through the parking lot behind the building.
