Event details
Pilgrim Uniting Church is again hosting the International Workers Memorial day at 10am, 28 April 2021. Rev Liz Dyson, Coordinating Chaplain, Ashford Hospital, will offer a reflection during the service.
The International Workers Memorial Day is held around the world each year on April 28th to remember those who have died in the work-place, and to highlight the preventable nature of most work-place incidents and ill health and to promote campaigns and union organisations in the fight for improvements in work-place safety.
Everyone affected by a work-related death or significant trauma is welcome to attend this service and provided the opportunity to contribute a personal item or photograph for the memorial display. The ecumenical commemorative service will feature a candle-lighting ceremony as well as the symbolic release of doves and memorial balloons. Light refreshments will be served after the service in the hall adjoining the church.
International Workers' Memorial Day is supported by the Government of South Australia, Pilgrim Uniting Church, SA Council of Churches, SA Unions, Asbestos Victims Association, Asbestos Diseases Society of SA and Voice of Industrial Death.
