VICTORIA — The NDP confirmed Tuesday that the minimum wage in British Columbia will increase to $11.35 an hour beginning Sept. 15, the first step to an eventual hike to $15 per hour.
In February, the B.C. Liberal government announced that the minimum wage in B.C. will rise by 50 cents to $11.35 this fall. The hourly wage for servers will go from $9.60 to $10.10.
New Labour minister Harry Bains said that the New Democrats plan to honour that pledge.
The minimum wage will be subject to incremental increases over time, Bains said.
