We're a non-profit that calculates 10 regional living wage rates and certifies employers who pay it. We work with local advocates to make sure it is well understood that there's nowhere in the province where you can work a min. wage job and make ends meet.

There's a growing class of owners who don't see labour as just another cost to suppress, and we're proud to list them as certified #LivingWage employers. We get these quotes as they sign up, and they're usually variations on "Paying a LW is just the right thing to do" no matter their sector/size
