After many years in the making, we are thrilled to announce that the Golden Tree Monument is ready to be unveiled in its permanent home in Abbotsford. The date has been set for Saturday, October 3, 2015, starting at 11:00 am. It will be held in the Friendship Garden, behind the Clearbrook Library in Abbotsford.
The Golden Tree will stand as a fitting legacy to Sarbjit Kaur Sidhu, Amarjit Kaur Bal, and Sukhvinder Kaur Punia, the three women killed in a tragic accident while on their way to work in 2007. It will also serve as a monument to all farmworkers, recognition of the important work they do and what they contribute to our province and communities. We look forward to your participation in this event, and ask that you circulate this information to your members.
