We’re proud to start the year with the news that MWC has been certified once again as a Living Wage Employer by Living Wage BC, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to fair and equitable compensation. This year’s certification confirms that we meet the 2026 Metro Vancouver Living Wage rate for every member of our team.
Being a Living Wage Employer means more than meeting a wage threshold, it reflects our belief that fair pay is essential to employee well-being, stability, and long-term success.
A living wage* is the hourly rate required to cover everyday essentials such as:
- Food and clothing
- Rental housing
- Childcare
- Transportation
- Modest savings to support unexpected illness or emergencies
*The living wage calculation is based on a two-parent household with two children—the most common family structure in BC—with both parents working full-time. Because costs differ across the province, living wage rates vary by region.
By maintaining this certification, MWC joins a growing network of employers across BC who are taking meaningful action to support their employees and local communities. Living Wage BC also works to advance public policies that help families better manage the rising cost of living.
