The horticulture industry in British Columbia has long depended on the work of
immigrant Indo-Canadians. In 2004 however, the province joined the federal Seasonal
Agricultural Workers Program, which brings workers from Mexico and the Caribbean to
Canada on a temporary basis, for a maximum of 8 months per year. This paper will
present some initial findings on how citizenship status and linguistic and cultural
differences may contribute to farm workers’ experiences of occupational health and
safety on BC farms.
