Nova Scotia’s unemployment rate went up to 8.6% in March. Stats Can says we had 4600 more people working, but more were also looking. The province is ahead of PEI at 10.1% unemployment, and Newfoundland and Labrador at 14.9%. The national number is 6.7%.

9 1 1 concerns
Truro-area first responders are upset by what they call “drive by callers” and a lack of information.
They want people to get a little information if they can before calling 9 1 1 about vehicles off the road.
Stewiacke firefighters and an ambulance rushed to a reported car accident last Thursday, but they found the driver sitting in a warm, running car; waiting for the tow truck she had called.
She did not call 9 1 1, another driver did; and continued on their way, without stopping and providing any information, such as if the driver was hurt.
