Back-breaking work harvesting strawberries in the Fraser Valley.
"This year we harvest strawberrries, raspberries, apples and peaches - in years to come our people will harvest a different kind of harvest - a bitter harvest this time, a harvest of tumors and of birth defects, a harvest of sickness, a harvest of death. We work in the fields reaping two harvests, the sweet harvest that is found on your tables and the bitter harvest that is our daily life...We immigrants who till the soil and harvest the crops of Canada came to this country because we believed it would be a land of opportunity, justice and equality. We came here with great dreams. We have seen the seeds of those dreams grow into a bitter, bitter harvest. A harvest of poverty, a harvest of sickness, a harvest of death." - Raj Chouhan in a speech to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, Jan. 19, 1982
