On May 9, we remember the 26 miners who lost their lives in the Westray Mine disaster in Plymouth, Nova Scotia. Their deaths remain a solemn reminder of the need to protect workers and to continue strengthening occupational health and safety in every workplace.

As we mark this anniversary, we honour the families, friends, and co-workers whose lives were forever changed, and we reflect on the lessons Westray continues to teach us about accountability and prevention.

The following is a statement from Barbara Adams, Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care.
------------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday, May 7, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) asked the employers and government back to the table to continue negotiations for a deal for their members in long-term care. We were optimistic as they said they had an amended offer to present. Talks resumed that same day.

Our government has a fair offer on the table that includes:
- wage increases of at least 12 to 24 per cent
- retroactive pay dating back to 2023, meaning thousands of dollars in workers’ pockets right away
- a 70 per cent increase in shift and weekend premiums, effective upon ratification
- funding to enroll in a defined benefit pension plan for facilities that do not currently have one in place.

CUPE has been asking for almost double what has already been accepted by 27,500 employees working in home care, acute care and long-term care. When we returned to the table, CUPE leadership started by asking for even more.

This proposal is not feasible. The wage offer on the table has already been accepted by employees in 29 unionized long-term care homes and in home care and hospitals. In fact, CUPE accepted these same increases for home care and hospital employees it represents.

Our government calls on CUPE to stop moving the goalpost and let their members vote on the fair offer on the table so that they can get the 12 to 24 per cent wage increases and $1,600 to $7,000 after-tax retro pay that they deserve.

As the strike continues, we will ensure that essential service agreements are followed.

Today, we pause to remember those who have lost their lives or been seriously injured because of their work.

In 2025, 22 Nova Scotian families were forever changed by workplace tragedies. One life lost is one too many.

The Day of Mourning is a time to honour these workers and renew our collective commitment to creating safer, healthier workplaces for everyone.

This year, Jessica Gillis shares the story of her brother, Skyler Blackie, who died after a faulty, expired fire extinguisher exploded during a live‑fire training exercise at a firefighters’ school — a powerful reminder of why this day matters and that every person who works in Nova Scotia deserves to come home safe at the end of each workday.

Nova Scotia is making it easier for people to take part in medical research.

Nova Scotians can now sign up when they apply for, or renew, their health card, or by contacting MSI directly, to be part of groundbreaking discoveries in cancer care, women’s health, chronic disease management, vaccine research and more.

They choose how they want to take part, saying yes to any or all of these options:

• Be contacted if they might be a good fit for a clinical trial or research study

• Allow biological samples and health information from regular medical care to be used for research

• Allow health information to be used to help develop or improve treatments, drugs, or medical devices

• Allow health information to be shared with approved outside organizations to develop new drugs and technologies

People must be 19 or older to participate. Taking part is always a choice, and participants can change or cancel consent at any time.

More information about medical research consent opportunities, options and process is available at https://www.novastudiesconnect.ca .
