ETHICS, POVERTY AND WAGES: If Not a Living Wage, What?

If Not A Living Wage, What?

Linda will present Vancity’s participation in the Living Wage for Families Campaign, which is part of their ongoing commitment to social justice and financial inclusion.

The tagline for this campaign is: "because work should lift you out of poverty, not keep you there" speaks to Vancity's own efforts to build strong and healthy communities.

Vancity has made a very public commitment to be a Living Wage employer and Ellen will describe how they are setting an example to encourage other employers to join them in this important anti-poverty initiative.
