We have certified 23 New Living Wage Employers across BC! 

Over 180 direct employees, and countless contracted workers will now not need to worry about how they will pay rent and food for their families because their employer has guaranteed to pay them a Living Wage. 

The Living Wage campaign is growing into new sectors.

This month we have certified Living Wage Employers in different sectors and communities. From the first independent media website The Tyee, to our local businesses such as The Cure Hot Sauce Company, to important non-profits like the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council and the Kootenay Brain Injury Association. We also have our first MLA constituency office (MLA Jeremy Valeriote) certified as a Living Wage Employer.

We are pleased to acknowledge that these employers have committed to paying their employees a Living Wage. This initiative will significantly benefit workers earning lower wages. We encourage additional employers to consider joining the Living Wage movement.
