Living Wage Resource Centre
The ACORN Canada Living Wage Resource Centre aims to be a one-stop shop of resources and materials to help organizations mount and win campaigns to enact Living Wage Policies in Canadian municipalities.
Here you will find materials being generated out of the attempts of ACORN Canada and others to enact the first municipal bylaw as well as resources from the United States highly successful Living Wage movement that has enacted ordinances in over 140 municipalities.
Special thanks to the Living Wage Resource Centre in the United States for being the inspiration for this site.
Below are a number of documents from Canadian and American Living Wage Campaigns.
ACORN Canada is currently involved in two living wage campaigns.
Ottawa ACORN is actively running a campaign to see the nations capital enact a living wage policy. BC ACORN was a key partner in advancing the living wage policy in New Westminster that recently passed city council.

These are other materials regarding Living Wages and Living Wage Campaigns
ACORN Canada believes that Canada needs a national living wage movement to rival the movement in the United States over the last 15 years. We are currently involved in a major campaign in Ottawa and are exploring options in other municipalities.
If you are interested in advancing a living wage campaign in your city we encourage you to get in touch with the ACORN Canada office in your city, and if there isn't an ACORN office in your city then to contact our national office (click here for the directory).
