Join our network and unlock the people power in your business.  When you join the BWA, you’re gaining a group of peers unlike any other business group in Canada.

Do You Qualify?

There is currently no cost to join for 2025 and we evaluate every business on a case by case basis. Do you have questions? Read our FAQ.

To be considered for a successful application, your business must have or be working toward adopting 2 of the 3 practices below. Not sure if you qualify? Fill out the form and we’ll schedule a 1-on-1 evaluation.

 Paid Sick Days

BWA Members offer their employees Paid Sick Days – or are working toward development of a PSD program for all staff.

This could also be considered or called a Health Day, Personal Day or any other variant where an employee receives pay during a day off due to illness, mental health, or family needs.

Stable Scheduling

Our Members plan ahead by offering comprehensive and predictable schedules. This can look like:
– Predictable 2-week schedules
– Paying for called off shifts+
– Offering more hours to PT staff before hiring
– 4-Day Work Weeks

More Than Minimum Wages

Our Members pay more than minimum wages.  This isn’t necessarily your local Living Wage – although many BWA members offer it! 

If you’re making an effort to pay more than the local minimum, especially in low-wage industries, you likely qualify.
