Toronto, ON November 10, 2026 – Meridian Credit Union, Ontario’s largest credit union, is continuing its commitment as a Living Wage Employer, helping ensure employees have the financial foundation to thrive at work and in their communities.
Following the release of the Ontario Living Wage Network’s regional rate recommendations, Meridian will continue to ensure employees earn at least the applicable Living Wage rate for their region. Meridian will also maintain existing Living Wage rates where the updated regional calculation is lower, ensuring employees do not see their rate decrease as a result of the new recommendations.
“Our employees make a difference every day for our Members and communities, and supporting their financial well-being is an important part of how we support them,” said Kristine Dionne, VP, Total Rewards & HR Operations at Meridian Credit Union. “Continuing our commitment as a Living Wage Employer reflects our belief that fair compensation is fundamental to helping our people thrive.”
Meridian’s Living Wage commitment is part of its broader approach to Total Rewards and employee well-being. The organization regularly reviews its compensation practices to remain competitive, respond to changing economic conditions, and attract and retain talented people.
As communities across Ontario continue to face cost-of-living pressures, Meridian is proud to continue supporting the Living Wage movement and putting its purpose into practice for the people who serve its Members and communities every day.
