2 former migrant workers detail their experiences living on Ontario farms
Tyrell Mills and his uncle Clifford McLiesh have worked as migrant workers for multiple years on Ontario farms. They spoke to CBC K-W's Aastha Shetty about their experience living in on-farm housing they say was dirty and unkempt. Mills and McLiesh were at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo on Friday to hear more about a new guidance document called the National Housing Standards for Migrant Agricultural Workers. It was put together by a team of researchers and experts from across the country who want all levels of government to read the report and take action on the recommendations to keep migrant farm workers safe.
