On the Street: Your thoughts on BC's minimum wage hike

Minimum wage is going up, and British Columbians will be making at least $16.75 an hour as of June 1.

That will make B.C.'s minimum wage the highest among Canada's provinces.

Only the Yukon Territory will be higher, although only by two cents.

The 6.9% increase, set to take effect Thursday, will give a lift to approximately 150,000 workers.

Castanet hit the streets to hear what Okanagan residents think of the increase – Is it enough? Too much?

As expected, opinions are mixed.

"Should say a 16 year old, make the same as someone who's not 16?" asked one respondent.
