VCC in collaboration with the Alberta Living Wage Network has published a new living wage, reflecting what it costs to live in a city like Calgary. The new living wage for Calgary is $22.40 per hour. It’s probably not surprising that it’s gone up especially since many are feeling the pinch at the grocery store and the gas pump.
