The provincial minimum wage in Manitoba increased over the weekend and now sits at $13.50 an hour. The change was the first of three scheduled increases that'll see the provincial minimum wage go from $11.95 an hour to $15.00 by October 1st, 2023.
The province announced the scheduled increases over the summer after Saskatchewan announced its minimum wage would be increasing, which would have left Manitoba with the lowest in Canada. The next increase will be April 1st, 2023, and will see the minimum wage go to $14.15 an hour.
