Minimum Wage Survey

A local survey of businesses on BC’s minimum wage had some interesting results.

Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce general manager Dione Chambers says their members were asked about the rate rising to 15 dollars an hour by 2021, and if that was too fast.

She says they had a good response with 110 people giving input.

“Sixty-three percent of respondents said they felt it would not have an impact on their business, not a direct impact. However a number of businesses did reply saying they felt that through their supply chain, they would see an impact,” says Chambers.
