We have certified 13 New Living Wage Employers across BC!  

Over 300 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.  

“At Migrant Workers Centre, we believe that every person’s labor carries dignity, and that no one should struggle to meet their basic needs. To pay a living wage is to recognize the humanity of those who build our world.” Ingrid Mendez, Executive Director, Migrant Workers Centre 

The Living Wage campaign is growing into new sectors 

This month we have certified Living Wage Employers in different sectors and communities. From the Sunshine Coast (Lincoln Construction) to the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce), the Living Wage community continues to grow.  

“Making sure that your employees have a stable work environment that provides enough pay for them to not just live paycheck to paycheck, but be able to pay for their lives and live comfortably.” Island West Commercial Maintenance 

Hasami Hair Studios is the first Living Wage certified hair salon in British Columbia, helping them to be a cut above their competitors.  

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.  

“We greatly value the employees who choose to work with us and we understand the benefit of treating employees fairly and ensuring they have a positive quality of life.” - Lincoln Construction
