Nova Scotia’s minimum wage is going up today.
The new minimum wage is $16.50 per hour, up from $15.70. That’s the second increase this year, bringing to total to $1.30 higher in 2025.
About 40,000 Nova Scotia workers currently earn the minimum wage, about 7.7 per cent of the labour force.
Minimum wage earners work throughout Nova Scotia, primarily in retail, followed by the food and accommodation industries.
Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.
When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.
989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
