City staff could be working on a way to make the city of Thunder Bay a living wage employer.

Pending ratification at the November 22nd City Council meeting, the elected officials voted unanimously to have administration look at committing the city to bringing every employee, in a phased approach, to the current living wage of $16.30/hour according to Ontario Living Wage Network.

The move would impact 267 employees of the corporation, including fitness attendants, crossing guards, concession workers and more.
