Ontario Newsroom- March 5, 2010
Ontario is raising the minimum wage to $10.25 on March 31, 2010. This is the seventh increase since 2004.
The province of Ontario started implementing annual increases early in 2003, raising the general minimum wage from $6.85 in 2004 to $9.50 in 2009.
Phasing in these increases balances the needs of hard working families with the needs of small businesses that create jobs.
