Coast Capital votes to rein in pay $1,000-per-meeting fees were added. The Surreyheadquartered credit union has also frozen a recommended increase in the base retainer of directors from $25,500 to $29,500.

An annual recalculation of the so-called “living wage” for Metro Vancouver concludes two working parents must each now earn $19.62 an hour to adequately support a family of four. The calculation, published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, estimates the wage including benefits required for a family of two full-time earners and two young
children to meet basic expenses, including rent, child care, food and transportation, once government taxes, credits, deductions and subsidies are taken into account. The living wage this year is up 48 cents from $19.14 in 2012 – a jump of 2.5 per cent or nearly double the rate of inflation. It has climbed from $16.74 in 2008, when the calculation was first made. – Jeff Nagel
