Ontario’s 25-cent-an-hour bump to the minimum wage, bringing it to $11.25 on Oct. 1, makes the province’s minimum the second-highest in the country, after the Northwest Territories’ $12.50 an hour, as of June.

Ontario tied the minimum wage directly to consumer price index last fall. This will be the ninth increase since the Liberals took power in 2003.

The minimum wage for students will increase to $10.55, and for liquor servers to $9.80.

Some wage and cost numbers:


$11.25 New minimum wage

$25.24 Average wage for all workers in Ontario in February 2015, up two per cent from a year ago

$554- $838 Average monthly rent in Ottawa, from one-bedroom to three-bedroom
