In surprise move, Kamloops Chamber lauds minimum wage hike
KAMLOOPS — Earlier this year, the B.C. Liberals announced it would increase the province’s minimum wage by 50 cents from $10.85 to $11.35 an hour.
The new NDP government has held true to that promise, with the new wage coming into effect Friday.
While the wage increase is likely to tighten business owners wallets, the Kamloops District Labour Council and the Chamber of Commerce says it still supports the move.
