We believe strongly that a living wage will help Ontarians by allowing them to earn an income sufficient to support their basic needs, and avoid the need to use debt to balance their budget. We are pleased to participate in, and support, such a worthy program," says Doug Hoyes, Licensed Insolvency Trustee and co-founder.
Hoyes Michalos signed a Living Wage Employer Declaration as a Champion level employer with Living Wage Waterloo Region on March 8, 2017.
