Four provinces have increased their minimum wage effective Oct. 1. The minimum wage in Ontario rose by $0.65 to $17.20 per hour, an increase experts say is tied to inflation. Saskatchewan’s minimum has risen by $1 to $15, the lowest in Canada. Meanwhile, Manitoba increased its minimum wage by $0.50 to $15.80. In Prince Edward Island, minimum wage rose by $0.60 cents to $16.
