An order in council has confirmed upcoming increases to British Columbia’s minimum wage rate this year, according to the provincial government.
On June 1, 2024, B.C.’s general minimum wage will increase by 3.9 per cent, from $16.75 to $17.40 per hour. The increase is consistent with B.C.’s average rate of inflation in 2023.
The alternate minimum rates for residential caretakers, live-in home-support workers and camp leaders will also receive the same 3.9 per cent increase on June 1.
