If you’re slinging hamburgers and

28-per-cent raise over the next year.
Premier Christy Clark announced
gradual increases to the minimum
wage in B.C. on Wednesday – from
the present $8 an hour to $10.25 by
May 2012.
The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
Chamber of Commerce has taken a
neutral position on the decision, said
president Jeremy Bekar.
“We do believe it’s going to affect
restaurants because they’re pretty
much the only establishments that
pay minimum wage, really.”
The move was Clark’s first task af-
ter being sworn in earlier this week

Three years later, and still homeless

Volunteers fanned out across Metro
Vancouver to count number of
people living on the streets

F
our days ago, Rob McGowan lost
everything he owned. A tarp, a
tent, his blanket, meagre posses-
sions that could all fit in a small,
battered shopping cart.
“The bylaw cops threw out everything,”
said McGowan, dressed in a floppy straw
hat, camouflage jacket, a oversized woolly
sweater and muddy jeans.
“I get harassed because I know my rights
as a Canadian citizen. People like to blame
all society’s woes on the homeless.”
Three years ago, McGowan was one of
2,660 homeless people counted across
Metro Vancouver – a tally that saw 22
per cent increase in that population from
2005.
Not much has changed for McGowan in
that span. Despite several attempts, find-
ing a home has proved difficult.
“I can’t find a place that I can afford or
roommates I can depend on,” he said.
“I’m just seeing more people who

are homeless ... There are more
people unemployed, younger
people and more families.” Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Making change
It didn’t take new Premier Christy Clark long to
make her mark in Victoria.
In her first week on the job she reduced the size
of cabinet, took strides towards party unity by giv-
ing top jobs to her closest leadership rivals, and
raised B.C.’s minimum wage. She also eliminated
the training wage of $6 an hour.
It is time for the minimum wage to reflect inflation
and the cost of living in this province, which, at $8
an hour, has the lowest minimum wage in Canada.
Still, not everyone in B.C. is pleased with the hike,
to $8.75 an hour in May, then to $9.50 in November,
and $10.25 by May 2012.
Opponents claim the pay increases will cripple
restaurants and small businesses, largely staffed
with minimum-wage earners.
The “massive” increases are going to hurt the
very people they are intended to help, cries the Ca-
nadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association,
as restaurant owners will be forced to cut hours to
control costs; employees will end up earning less.
Oddly, restaurants remain open and staffed in
other parts of the country where the minimum
wage is equal to what will now be implemented in
B.C.
The Liberals consulted stakeholders and eco-
nomic experts and determined that job impacts
are minimized when minimum wage increases are
done incrementally over time.
The B.C. Federation of Labour, which has for most
of the past decade lobbied for an increase in the
minimum wage, also doubts that jobs are in jeop-
