The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Community of Practice (DEI CoP) acknowledges the harm of enslavement, the legacy of which continues to permeate systems and devastate individuals, families and communities in our present day. The DEI CoP represents several Durham Region organizations taking up equity, diversity and inclusion work in a purposeful way to dismantle oppressive structures.

Well, this is going to be a #livingwage week like no other. For starters, we are not releasing any new or updated living wage rates, as we usually would on the ...first Monday of November. Along with our local organizers, we decided there was no way to calculate 2020 living wage rates that would provide a useful representation of living expenses in the coming year. Many calculations depend on local non-profit organizations such as United Ways, social planning councils, and development organizations whose resources are already stretched thin. The calculations rely on 2019 factors and price indicators that will not be relevant in 2020-2021. In the interest of consistency, a pause in calculations now could avoid any wild fluctuations over previous and future years. Almost all of the regional calculations have undergone a year or more without an update. We’ve just never pressed pause for all of them at once. We like to keep track of several important numbers. Our favourite is, of course, the number of certified living wage employers. As of Monday Nov 2, there are 333 certified living wage employers! More are added every week it seems, even since early spring when normalcy was challenged for many. We thank all of our current certified living wage employers, and those that reach out to new ones in their community. Living wage employers recognize workers as more than just a cost to be controlled. They are a valued part of their success, and of the wider community.
