Minimum Wage to Increase

As Canadians come together tomorrow to celebrate this great nation, residents in this province have extra reason to celebrate.

As of July 1, the minimum wage in this province will be raised to 10 dollars.

This 50 cent increase is the final one in the provinces commitment to raising the minimum wage in this province to 10 dollars.

This latest increase makes Newfoundland and Labrador’s minimum wage the second highest in the country.

Our new summer student Binky Andersen couldn’t be happier with the news.

Andersen will be spending the summer working here at the OKalaKatiget Society’s Radio Department as a Radio Assistant.

She says the extra bit of cash will help her out with some extra spending money this summer.
