During the provincial election campaign in May, the NDP promised to phase in a minimum wage of $15 an hour
for general workers. In July, to find out what B.C. residents think about that, Mustel Group asked 300 of them:
Should the minimum wage be increased to $15 an hour in B.C.? What surprised principal Evi Mustel
was the number of respondents in favour: 69.4 per cent overall and 83 per cent in the city of Vancouver. "I
think it's because because you have more service-type jobs in the city," Mustel says.

Poll of the Month
Our 2017 ranking of B.C.'s biggest com-
panies by revenue ("The Top 100," July/
August) misidentiƒed two
CEOs. Diana
Miles is
CEO of WorkSafeBC, and Larry
Rodo is president and
CEO of 4Refuel
Canada LP.
In the same issue, "Kelp Wanted"
identiƒed Stephen Cross as Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada industrial research
chair for colleges in sustainable aqua-
culture at North Island College in
Courtenay. He is actually based at the
college's Campbell River campus.
Also in July/August, a photograph
of Nk'Mip Cellars was used instead of
Time Estate Winery in the timeline in
"Vintage Harry."
And speaking of timelines, the one
in "Edge of Tomorrow" (May 2017)
should have said that B.C. got its ƒrst
NDP government in 1972.
