Minimum wage to increase by 40 cents in October

Manitoba’s minimum wage will rise to $16.40 from $16 effective Oct. 1.

The 40-cent increase is in line with the rate of inflation, rounded up to the nearest five cents. In 2025, the minimum wage was raised 20 cents

Manitoba Federation of Labour president Kevin Rebeck was critical of the increase, suggesting “our minimum wage falls well below a living wage” in a press release.

The provincial government is required to announce the annual minimum wage increase by April 1.
