## Resource

A migrant farm worker from Mexico, Sinhue Garcia, died in a suspected hit-and-run while cycling home from his job in Ontario — sparking urgent calls to overhaul Canada’s decades-old Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program. With as many as eight migrant workers dying in Ontario’s rural roads in recent weeks, advocates are demanding safer infrastructure, better transportation, and reforms that allow workers to move between employers or access permanent residency. Trapped by restrictive work permits and lacking personal transport, these workers face life-threatening risks — especially at night — and often can’t speak up for fear of losing their livelihood. Community activists are pushing for coroner’s inquests, municipal action, and systemic change to protect this essential labor force.
