Living Wages in Your Community

What is a Living Wage?

Living wages are rooted in the belief that individuals and families should not just survive, but be able to live in dignity, and participate in their community. Living Wages in your Community After months of collaboration, the Alberta Living Wage Network has developed a standard methodology for calculating living wages across the province.
