Today is May Day - the International Day recognizing the importance of fighting for labour rights, equity, and economic justice. As the cost of living continues to increase, here at Living Wage, we continue to advocate for employers to pay a Living Wage to their workers.
The living wage is calculated based on the most common family unit in BC- a two-parent family with two children, where each parent is working full time. To find out the living wage of each region, visit livingwageforfamilies.ca
Gnomes and Gardens owner Chris Lambden shares his top tips on grants available to small businesses struggling to pay a Living Wage. He shares how these grants helped him pay a Living Wage to his staff on our guest blog post. Find the full blog link in our bio!

This week Vancouver Park Board voted unanimously to explore becoming a Living Wage Employer - this could benefit hundreds of Park Board staff and contractors. Thank you so much @ParkBoard 😄
Wishing you an Eid Mubarak! 🌙 May the celebration of Eid al-Fitr fill your life with limitless joy and happiness!
Here at Living Wage, we have decided to calculate the annual “Bougie Wage” for Metro-Vancouver. We really wanted to highlight the sacrifices some individuals have to make to afford spa treatments and private chefs. What have we missed in our calculations? Retweet it 😉
For International Transgender Day of Visibility, we wanted to spotlight the owners of one of our Living Wage Employers, Dave and Jen from Sparkling Legacy. Thank you, Dave and Jen, for your truly inspiring leadership! 💙💗🤍 Read more on our blog: livingwageforfamilies.ca/international_…
Our regional Living Wage is $26.51 – did you know that it's the highest in BC? You’re invited to join CBT and the @LWforfamilies team to learn more. 📅 Thursday, March 14th ⏰ 11:00 a.m. – noon 💻 Via Zoom Register now ➡️ buff.ly/3TwWmzx
Councilor Carr spoke and said "it is not going to affect our collective agreements. Those will stay, it will affect those that are not covered by collocative agreement and those are the people who need it the most."

Ken Sim doesn't care if people are able to live a dignified life by working for the City.

The Living Wage is backed by rigorous economic analysis. It is the income threshold for workers to live full and decent lives. The decision by the majority of @CityofVancouver Council to not pay a Living Wage to their contractors and employees is insulting.

Seems like every living wage city is recertifying, and more employers are going living wage all the time... time for the City of Vancouver to get back on track!
Great work done by the @CityofBurnaby with their continuous commitment to providing the Living Wage to their staff. burnaby.ca/our-city/news/…
It is very needed!
The living wage is what a worker needs to earn to pay for basic essentials like food and rent while having an active and fulfilling family and personal life. It does not account for savings, debt, taking care of others. Learn more livingwageforfamilies.ca/what_is_living… #livingwageweek
Sky high @LWforfamilies is $24.08. As a small nonprofit, we pay this.
@pwaldkirch Not always a big Sim fan here, but procedural squabbling among politicians ain't the point. Boyle's faction want to spend huge amounts forcing contractors to pay sky-high union wages -- the "living wage." It's a ripoff, unionization by deceit; if pettiness defeats it, I'm all in
There's a bit of joy when I see other Arts orgs pay $23+ for entry level positions. It's not enough but glad the @LWforfamilies is making an impact!
And finally “the literature shows that policies that improve household income are the most important ways to address food insecurity” Pay a living wage! Raise the rates! Make sure no one in BC has to go hungry because they can’t afford food
Hey @LWforfamilies Look at that! Glad we have local leaders in #NewWestminster #PortCoquitlam #Burnaby #PittMeadows and #LangleyCity who recognize the value of a living wage to our families, neighbours and small local businesses! #solidarity #bcpoli
The OECD is as mainstream as they come — (whispers: ...actually even a little small-c conservative, since the general population is a lot more progressive than some folks think, but setting that aside...) — so this is pretty significant!
Aunt Leah's Place has become a certified @LWforfamilies Living Wage Employer! We have committed to paying our staff and contracted workers a living wage by certifying as a #LivingWageEmployer.
@BIGBill33 @Lanampayne @JimboStanford @yvrairport @LWforfamilies @Frenchastasia it takes a global village to enact change. Our union, @UniforTheUnion, @psacbc, @iamawcanada, @CUPEBC, and @vancouverdlc worked diligentally to lobby @yvrairport to be @LWforfamilies member. Then they finally did, now we must move further. #canlab #babysteps
We’re disappointed that the @CityofVancouver has ended its commitment to paying its workers a living wage, and know that this will harm contract workers like cleaning and security staff. We're proud to be a certified living wage employer and @LWforfamilies campaign supporter.
“By paying employees enough to keep them out of poverty, employers can meaningfully impact the communities they serve in ways that help everyone thrive.” Thank you @modo_carcoop @BrightsideHomes @MassyBooks 👏🏽 #LivingWage @LWforfamilies theprovince.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Once again @TheBeaverton nails it with this ha ha only serious piece on the @CityofVancouver's disappointing decision to stop paying its workers a living wage. @LWforfamilies thebeaverton.com/2023/03/city-o…
@christineeboyle @queerfilmfest @LWforfamilies Thank you, @christineeboyle! We (@queerfilmfest/@outinschools) appreciate your support & dedication to advocate for all workers.
Other municipalities who pay the living wage say they're sticking with it. Here's part of a statement from City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan. #bcpoli
We couldn't agree more! #genderequity #payequity
The gender pay gap means that Indigenous, Black, newcomer and racialized women are most likely to earn less than men in similar jobs. We've joined with more than 125 others calling on the BC government to enact pay equity laws. #BCPayEquity #Bcpoli #PayEquity
