National Day of Mourning
Our team at CannAmm Occupational Testing Services wants to take a moment to give our deepest condolences to the individuals, and their families, who have been injured or have lost their lives due to workplace tragedy. Today, April 28th, marks the National Day of Mourning, a day to not only remember but honor those who have been affected by incidents in the workplace. CannAmm, as well as many other amazing organizations, takes this day to collectively renew our commitment to improving the health and safety in workplaces across the nation to prevent injuries, illnesses, and deaths.

Established to fill the gap between health and safety systems, and social systems in Canada, Threads of Life provides several resources for families, employers, and health and safety professionals.
