On Monday 28 April, the Council will mark International Workers’ Memorial Day.
We recognise this day each year to remember those who have lost their lives at work, or from work related injury or illness. International Workers’ Day is commemorated globally, with events and activities taking place across the world.
The commemorative event organised by the Council will take place at the Cadder Pit memorial Cairn at Bishopbriggs Library and Community Hub. Council Leader Gordan Low will represent the Council and he, Trades Union colleagues, and our Community Planning Partners will lay wreaths at the Cairn at 1pm. Our local MP, MSP and Council Management team will also be invited to attend.
All Councillors are invited to attend to the event, and any Councillors or political parties that wish to lay a wreath should confirm this to services@eastdunbarton.gov.uk so that an order for wreath laying can be coordinated.
As part of the Council’s commemorations, the flags at our Southbank Marina HQ will fly at half-mast on the day.
