Today is International Equal Pay Day, dedicated to advocating for equal pay for work of equal value regardless of gender identity or expression. Advancing gende...r equality is not just good for women, it is good for all Canadians. That is why in 2018, passed the Pay Equity Act to help reduce wage gaps that affect women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and visible minorities. In 2017, women earned 88 cents for every dollar earned by men a 6 cent increase since 1997. We have lessened the pay gap, and are gaining momentum. Let’s continue to work for parity! #EqualPayDay

London was the only city in Canada that had a program like that at the time.
