Please join the BCFED, the Bal, Punia and Sidhu families, Archway Community Services, PICS and the City of Abbotsford for our annual memorial to remember Amarjit Kaur Bal, Sukhvinder Kaur Punia, and Sarabjit Kaur Sidhu, the three women farmworkers killed on the morning of March 7, 2007, while being transported to work in an overloaded and poorly maintained passenger van.

These senseless deaths sparked a province-wide review of farm transportation and a coroner’s inquest that gave rise to stronger rules, regulations and enforcement, making farm work safer.
