    Section

    1. On Friday 28 April, the Council will once again be marking International Workers’ Memorial Day.  We recognise this day on 28 April every year to remember those who have lost their lives at work, or from work related injury or illness, and events and activities take place right across the world.

    2. As part of the Council’s commemorations, the flags at our Southbank Marina HQ will fly at half-mast on the day and we will be encouraging everyone who is able to, to join in a one-minute silence at 12 noon. We will issue an email reminder of the one-minute silence on the morning of 28 April.

    3. The Council has traditionally held a commemorative event at the Cadder Pit memorial Cairn at Bishopbriggs Library & Hub. Council Leader Gordan Low will represent the Council and he, Trades Union colleagues and our Community Planning Partners will join together to lay wreaths at the Cairn at 2pm. Our local MP and MSP will also be invited to attend.

    4. All councillors are invited to attend the event, and any councillors or political parties that wish to lay a wreath should confirm this to members.services@eastdunbarton.gov.uk so that an order for wreath laying can be coordinated.
