#Repost @bcgeu • • • • • • Remembering #bclab hero #GingerGoodwin - killed on this day near Cumberland in 1918. Goodwin took part in the 1912-14 Vancouver Island Coal Miner’s Strike, and played a prominent and fundamental role in the history and growth of B.C.’s labour movement. His death was a catalyst for Canada's first General Strike in Vancouver on August 2, 1918.
