Prince George mourns for lost workers

It was a sombre scene at the corner of Queensway and Patricia Boulevard as Prince George marked National Day of Mourning. The event remembered all who were killed in the workplace. Ronda Roche, whose husband died in the Lakeland Mill explosion, says today is for everyone.

WorkSafe BC Vice President of Prevention Services Al Johnson says today gives people a chance to pay their respects.

Johnson says last year saw 128 work-related deaths.
