About

Early one March morning in 2007, three women packed, with fourteen others, into a poorly maintained and unsafe work van lost their lives when the driver lost control on a highway near Abbotsford, BC.

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

The Golden Tree will stand as a monument to these women, the sacrifices of their families and friends, and as a powerful reminder of the consequences of unsafe work.

The Tree will be built with the generous support of donations from government, labour organizations, business, community groups and individual donations from people like you.
