TY - EJOUR T1 - A thank you dinner for the 'forgotten' migrant workers who pick Canada's food PB - CBC Radio N2 - In the winter, when they usually arrive, they quake in the unfamiliar cold.

All these beautiful vegetables and fruits that we have on our table, where did it come from? These are migrant workers who are working to pick it ... They give to us and we should give back to them - Joan Grey Each year, 50,000 migrant labourers come to Canada from the Caribbean, Mexico and beyond through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program.
