Woman who lost her dad in 2010 tells ceremony of the pain of losing a loved one
Sadaf Abdul knows all too well the pain felt by the family and friends of the 131 British Columbians who died last year from work-related causes. Her father was killed on the job in 2010.
Rahimi asked his daughter if she would come to work with him. She had worked with him before but only on weekends and she told him she couldn’t because she had to prepare for an upcoming exam. Abdul said she she’s grateful for the support the family received and feels fortunate to live in Canada, which “does not leave you to fight your own battles” after a workplace accident.
Labour Minister Harry Bains told the ceremony “we shouldn’t have to wait for tragedy to strike” before improving workplace safety. He also spoke about the need to treat injured workers with “dignity and respect” and provide them with care and support they need to fully recover.
