Golden Tree Memorial

2025 Golden Tree Farmworkers’ Memorial
On March 7, 2007, three women farmworkers were killed and other workers were injured in the rollover of an overloaded van taking them to work. Sukhvinder Kaur Punia, Amarjit Kaur Bal and Sarabjit Kaur Sidhu died in the accident. Since this tragic incident, the Federation has worked with the families to highlight health and safety issues for farmworkers, including the installation of the Golden Tree Monument in memory of all farmworkers killed and injured on the job.
This year’s memorial will be held Saturday, March 8th at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium and Friendship Garden in Abbotsford from 12:30-3:30 pm. Please join us as we honour their lives as well as all farmworkers in recognition of the important work they do and their ongoing struggle for dignity and safety.
