What is living wage? How much is it?
Living wage is approximately the amount of money that it costs to pay for all of your basic needs, essentials, and utilities per month. It is $17 - $20 in British Columbia.
Why did we create this website?
We created this website to inform people about the fact that the current minimum wage is not enough to pay for the living wage. We hope that now that you know this information, you will sign our petition to help raise the minimum wage, or create your own way of helping raise minimum wage.
How will signing our petition help raises minimum wage?
Once 100 people sign our petition, we will email it to the premier of British Columbia, Christy Clark, and hopefully she will do something to raise the minimum wage in B.C.
