shot in the neck, with the bullet severing his spinal cord on impact. Local undertakers refused a police request to bury Goodwin on the spot where he was shot, and also refused to retrieve his body for authorities. His body was retrieved by friends and brought to Cumberland, where it was taken through the streets in a mile-long procession. Goodwin was interred at the Cumberland Municipal Cemetery, with thousands attending his funeral on August 2, 1918. Campbell was charged with manslaughter following Goodwin's death. A grand jury in Victoria, British Columbia dismissed the charges against the policeman, who continued to claim that he had fired in self-defence. Despite the jury's decision, police officers and two justices of the peace believed there was enough evidence to warrant a further proceeding. There are conflicting opinions on the actual date of Goodwin's death. While many sources date the death on July 27, others including his headstone state he died on July 26, 1918. Legacy Goodwin's death outraged the BC labour movement. In protest, the Vancouver General Strike was held on August 2, 1918, the first of its kind in Canada. The Metal and Trades Council was the first to call for the 24-hour work stoppage, with the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council and other manual labourers following its lead. At Comox Lake, Goodwin was commemorated by the naming of Ginger Goodwin Creek in 1982, and Mount Ginger Goodwin in 1989. A section of the Vancouver Island Highway 19 that passes through Cumberland was named Ginger Goodwin Way in 1996. Although the signs were removed by the province's Liberal government in 2001, the NDP government reinstalled them in 2018. On July 27, 2018, the BC government proclaimed Ginger Goodwin Day to acknowledge his work as a champion of labour rights. The centennial day of his death was also marked by widespread recognition of his achievement. Goodwin's legacy was revived in Cumberland with Miners' Memorial Day in 1986. Organized by the Cumberland Museum and Archives, the annual event celebrates Cumberland's miners, including the 295 miners who died in accidents over the decades. A vigil is held every year during Miners' Memorial weekend, with people placing flowers on Goodwin's grave. In 2015, the film, Goodwin's Way, debuted. The film documents the town of Cumberland resisting the opening of a new mine and resurrecting the legacy of Ginger Goodwin. Residents share their viewpoints on the life story
