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.
