NEWS RELEASE

July 3, 2015

VANCOUVER – Nine employers were certified as Living Wage Employers yesterday by the Living Wage for Families Campaign.

“Eight of the nine certified employers have fewer than 50 employees,” observes Deanna Ogle, the campaign organizer with the Living Wage for Families Campaign. “This demonstrates the strong  commitment and contribution of small businesses to the economic health of local communities.”
