We are proud to announce that MWC is officially certified as a Living Wage Employer by Living Wage BC! This means that we meet the Metro Vancouver Living Wage rate 2025 for all of our staff. A living wage* is the hourly amount someone needs to earn to cover basic expenses.
These basic expenses include:
- Food
- Clothing
- Rental housing
- Childcare
- Transportation
- Small savings to cover illness or emergencies.
*The living wage calculation is currently based on a two-parent family with two children – the most common family unit in BC – and each parent working full-time. The living wage varies across BC based on costs in each region.
Living Wage BC encourages employers to pay a living wage as well as advocates for government policies that would help families make ends meet!
