The Government of Canada is implementing comprehensive minimum wage adjustments across multiple provinces and territories in early 2025. The federal minimum wage is expected to rise to approximately $17.70 per hour for federally regulated sectors, while provinces like Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Yukon are also scheduled for increases. Notably, Nunavut maintains its highest minimum wage at $19.00 per hour. These adjustments, primarily driven by inflation and cost of living factors, reflect Canada’s ongoing commitment to ensuring fair compensation for workers while supporting economic growth and poverty reduction initiatives.
