Im/migrant Farmworker Justice in British Columbia and Ontario: Past and Present Struggles and Change for the Future
On October 17, 2025, Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) David Lam Centre and Labour Studies Program, and the Understanding Precarity in BC (UP-BC) Project, hosted a stimulating and thought provoking roundtable titled “Im/migrant Farmworker Justice in British Columbia and Ontario: Past and Present Struggles and Change for the Future.” Led and curated by Dr. Evelyn Encalada Grez (Assistant Professor, SFU Sociology and Labour Studies Program, and organizer, Justicia for Migrant Workers, BC), this hybrid event gathered a range of migrant justice community groups, academics, and community-labour organizers to share their insights on intergenerational farmworker struggles in British Columbia and Ontario.
