“Minimum wage is not enough to live on anywhere in the province and we need to work to close the gap,” with the living wage that is higher than the minimum wage everywhere in BC said @iglikaivanova.bsky.social.

With Living Wage BC we just released the 2025 report.
The edge of poverty: B.C.'s living wage far outstrips the minimum wage
Even though inflation has eased from its record highs, there is a $10 gap between living and minimum wage in Metro Vancouver

Why is there such a wide gap between the minimum and the living wages in BC? What concrete and data-driven policy solutions could help tackle BC’s affordability challenges?
Find out on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at noon: bcpolicy.ca/events.
@iglikaivanova.bsky.social @bcpolicy.bsky.social
Webinar Nov 19, noon PT: Living wages were calculated for 27 BC communities in 2025 and the affordability crisis is province-wide.

Whistler has the highest rate, $29.60/hour, Squamish second at $28 and it’s $27.85 for Metro Vancouver, $10/hr more than BC’s min wage.

Raising the minimum wage to $20/hour would narrow the gap between BC’s minimum and the living wage, benefiting some 350K workers in BC, living wage report authors @iglikaivanova.bsky.social and Anastasia French say.

Government measures can help close the gap they recommend.

We put out these wildfire postcards back in May. Sadly, events have made them very timely. Check ‘em out #SignedSearedDelivered 👇
🔥 This year’s wildfire season is already Canada’s 2nd-worst on record, with over 7.3M hectares burned.

Our postcards put this crisis front and centre, demanding that Ottawa hold fossil fuel companies accountable and make climate action a top priority.
