We are a Living Wage Employer.

Living Wage Employers are responsible employers who care about their employees and the community. They recognize that paying a living wage constitutes a critical investment in the long-term prosperity of the economy by fostering a dedicated, skilled and healthy workforce.

We are now one of over 300 organizations in the province committed to paying a living wage, which, in Toronto is $22.08/hour. We recognize that paying a living wage constitutes a critical investment in the long–term prosperity of the economy.

We are working to improve our sustainability performance and reduce our impacts.

The Culinary Tourism Alliance underwent a comprehensive assessment and achieved a Silver Sustainable Tourism Certification. The process included a one-on-one review of our organization's practices with a GreenStep Assessor to determine how we’re doing against their Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) recognized criteria.

We are aware of the areas where we have opportunities for improvement, and are using the resources from GreenStep to inform our tactical plans for continued success on our sustainability journey. Certification requires reassessment every two years and we're aiming for Gold by 2024!
