Atikokan Injured Workers Memorial

This Atikokan Injured Workers Memorial and plaque are in memory of those who lost their lives accidentally at work. Mining, logging, construction and the CN Railway are represented.

A memorial Cross with the inscription, "Turning words and ideas into actions." The cross was erected by the Atikokan Injured Workers Support Group in memory of those workers who died or were injured at work. Remi Labonte, 26-8-1990 is situated on a pedestal next to the plaque. Remi's back was seriously injured while working in the logging industry. He received the third Spinal Neurological Stimulation Implant in Canada, which had only been available for six months. The implant allowed him to sit, walk and exercise free of all drug dependence.
