Nova Scotia to raise minimum wage to $16.50 by October, addressing rising living costs.

Nova Scotia is set to raise its minimum wage to $16.50 per hour by October, marking the largest increase in its history. The wage will first go up to $15.70 on April 1st. The government claims this addresses rising living costs, but the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives argues the increase is inadequate, stating the living wage should be at least $26.53 in Nova Scotia and higher in Halifax.
