Justice for Sinhue Garcia Safer roads and support for migrant workers now.

Sinhue Garcia, a migrant farmworker from Mexico, was killed while riding his bicycle in rural Niagara-on-the-Lake. He leaves behind a wife, two children, and many loved ones. He is not the first. At least six other migrant farmworkers have been killed or seriously injured on Niagara roads in recent years.

We grieve with Sinhue’s family, friends, co-workers, and the migrant worker community. But his death is not an isolated tragedy.

Migrant farmworkers keep Niagara’s farms, greenhouses, wineries, restaurants, and food system running. Too many have no choice but to travel long rural roads by bike or on foot, often at night, without safe transportation, wide shoulders, bike lanes, proper lighting, or access to public transit.

This is a public safety crisis and a serious gap in planning, infrastructure, and political responsibility.

We are calling for a migrant worker safety and support plan for Niagara.

• Safe transportation for migrant workers.
• Urgent road safety improvements.
• Emergency support for workers and families after injuries or deaths.
• Permanent funding for legal support, health services, and community spaces.
• Permanent resident status so migrant workers can speak up without fear.

Migrant workers are not disposable. They are our neighbours, co-workers, friends, and community members. They deserve to live with dignity.

Send an email now to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada, and election candidates.

This petition is co-hosted by Niagara Community Legal Clinic, Migrant Workers Alliance for Change and other local migrant worker organizations.
