We have certified 12 New Living Wage Employers across BC! 

With their employers’ commitment to providing a Living Wage, direct employees and numerous contracted workers can experience greater financial security. The assurance that basic needs can now be met alleviates significant stress, and takes a step towards addressing affordability for workers.

Growth in Numbers and Sectors

This month we have certified Living Wage Employers in different sectors and communities. From local businesses like MAKR Play Group in Kelowna, to community organizations in the like the Inclusion Langley Society.

We are proud to celebrate these organizations for stepping up and ensuring their teams earn a wage that reflects the true cost of living. Their example is paving the way for a stronger, more equitable workforce in BC. We encourage more employers to join this growing movement and make a meaningful difference for their employees and their families.

“At MAKR, becoming a Living Wage Employer means investing in people, supporting families, and helping build stronger communities. We believe the people who create incredible spaces for others deserve to earn a wage that allows them to thrive — not just get by.” Brianne Gale, MAKR Play Group

“Doing the right thing by the people you spend each day with. Paying people well results in happier employees who know they are truly valued. This leads to better work, and a genuine team environment. Being cheap isn't good long term business and shows you just don't care.” Glenn Doucet, Green Roots Play Equipment

“At Luna Bookkeeping, being a Living Wage Employer means investing in the people behind the work. We believe our team deserves compensation that reflects the real cost of living, while fostering a supportive, flexible, and growth-focused environment where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive both professionally and personally.” Jenn Rapske, Luna Bookkeeping
