Vigil held to remember farm workers
More than 100 people turned out to honour the memory of three women on Sunday.
It's been five years since a tragic van accident took the lives of Sukhvinder Kaur Punia, Amarjit Kaur Bal and Sarabjit Kaur Sidhu.
The Abbotsford farm workers were involved in a crash on March 7, 2007 as they and 14 other passengers were being transported to work.
The incident has spurred a push to improve safety regulations for farm workers.
The ceremony was held at Thunderbird Stadium, by Abbotsford city hall.
