NS's living wage increased again, at a rate similar to last yr. Inflation has generally slowed, but many workers in NS struggle to afford essentials. There is a need for improved working conditions, redistributive income supports, fair taxation, & to regulate the costs of essentials.

Nova Scotia Living Wage Rates These rates reflect what workers are experiencing in our communities: it remains a struggle to make ends meet... Workers are having to go on picket lines to get what should already be theirs: decent wages that keep food on the table, rent paid, and the lights kept on. – Suzanne MacNeil, with Justice for Workers Nova Scotia REGION RATES 2025 RATES 2024 % ANNUAL CHANGE Annapolis Valley $27.20 $26.20 3.82% Cape Breton $24.50 $24.00 2.08% Halifax $29.40 $28.30 3.89% Northern $25.50 $24.90 2.41% Southern $26.60 $25.20 5.56%

Great idea! Looks like we need eight accounts to create a starter pack and we currently have six accounts. For now, here's the list of municipal Bluesky accounts: @hfxtransit.bsky.social, @hfx-fire.bsky.social, @hfxevents.bsky.social, @hfxrec.bsky.social and @hfxplanning.bsky.social.
