The living wage for Peterborough and district in 2019 has been determined that it’s $17.63 an hour.
The United Way released a report alongside representatives of Peterborough Public Health, social policy advocates and community partners.
Health Promoter Julie Brandsma says income and wellbeing are very much connected.
CEO Jim Russell says employers paying a liveable wage is a good thing for not just the employee, but also the community.
