Flags at half-mast in recognition of workers killed on job

The flags at Saskatchewan's Legislative Building will be flying at half-mast today.

It will mark the National Day of Mourning to commemorate workers who have been injured, killed or become sick because of their jobs.

On Parliament Hill, the flags will also be at half-mast.

The names of Canadian workers who have died while on the job will be inscribed into the national registry at the Canadian Labour Congress.

Saskatchewan's Worker's Compensation Board says it got nearly 36-thousand injury claims last year.
