Ontario Raising Minimum Wage In October

Ontario is raising the provincial minimum wage later this year.

Effective October 1, the minimum wage in Ontario will rise from $11.25 per hour to $11.40, keeping Ontario's minimum wage the highest in Canada.

Minimum wage rates for liquor servers, students under the age of 18, hunting and fishing guides, and homeworkers will also increase October 1.

The official announcement of the wage increase will be made April 1, but won't come into effect until October to give businesses time to adjust.
