We’re championing and showcasing the growing wave of living wage initiatives in Ontario. We are a network of employers, employees, non-profits, researchers, and proponents of decent work standards for all Ontario workers.

Together, we’re changing the conversation about what the minimum standard of pay for low-wage workers should be in the province.
