The Neighbourhood Action Grants have now come to a close for this period. Thank you to all of our applicants, we will be in touch with you shortly.

Abbotsford Living Wage

The Abbotsford living wage is $16.42/hour. A living wage allows employees to obtain basic needs, create safe home environments for themselves and their children, maintain a decent standard of living, and feel like an equal member of society. Two BC cities have paved the way as the first living wage employers in Canada. Maybe Abbotsford will be next!
