    WHAT IS A LIVING WAGE?

    A living wage is the hourly wage a worker needs to earn to cover their basic expenses and participate in their community.

    A living wage is not the same as the minimum wage, which is the legislated minimum all employers must pay and is set by the provincial government. The living wage reflects what people need to earn to cover the actual costs of living in their community, and draws on community-specific data to determine the expenses. Living wage employers voluntarily decide to pay a living wage and maintain their certification as new rates are calculated for their area.
