TORONTO - Ontario’s minimum wage is set to rise to $16.55 an hour on Oct. 1.
It marks a 6.8 per cent boost from the current rate of $15.50 an hour, an increase tied to inflation.
“I’m proud of my record around minimum wage, to increase it to $16.55 an hour, the highest of any province in the country,” he said. That program is intended to cover workers in the gig economy, retail and hospitality jobs who don’t have benefits, and accommodate people who may change careers throughout their lives. A task force set to deliver a blueprint for it in the summer.
The Progressive Conservatives cancelled a planned minimum wage increase from $14 to $15 per hour after they took office in 2018. The government then raised the minimum wage to $15 in January of last year.
