GRIEF & MOURNING SUPPORT AVAILABLE TO ALL MEMBERS
Posted: Apr 30, 2025 11:47
With deep sadness and aching hearts, IATSE 891 stands in mourning and solidarity with our Filipino community and all impacted by the tragic and senseless violence and loss of life at the Lupa Lupa festival last weekend in Vancouver. As we grieve, we offer our deepest condolences to families and friends of those who lost their lives and to those who were injured. You are not alone.
This week started with the shock of this tragedy still lingering as BC's labour community gathered to mark the annual Day of Mourning (April 28) to honour workers who have been killed or injured on the job. Every worker has a right to safety on the job, and we will continue to fight in solidarity and through advocacy to prevent needless deaths and injuries at work and in our communities.
For members in need of emotional support and grief counselling right now, please do not hesitate to reach out for the supports available to you — from friends, family, co-workers, and your Union.
Crisis lines for immediate mental health support can also be found here.
Access free confidential counselling for you and your families through EFAP by calling 1.800.667.0993 or by making a request online through fseap.bc.ca.
