Northumberland Ferries, which began service between Wood Islands and Caribou at the start of this month, says the MV Saaremaa 1 is due to arrive in Caribou as early as May 22nd. The MV Saaremaa has again been secured from its owners in Quebec, STQ, for service this season between PEI and Nova Scotia. The Saaremaa will be Northumberland Ferries’ second vessel on the route, until MV Fanafjord is ready to enter service. Once it arrives, the MV Saaremaa 1 will remain in Caribou as contingency relief for MV Confederation prior to actually entering daily service on June 16th. An arrival date for MV Fanafjord hasn’t been confirmed yet as it has to undergo a significant refit.
The rate of injury in Nova Scotia’s workplaces continued to decline in 2023 and is down to half the rate recorded 20 years ago. The province’s Workers’ Compensation Board issued a new report that says the time-loss injury rate improved to 1.4 injuries per 100 covered workers in 2023, down from 1.54 recorded in 2022 and significantly better than the 3.0 rate in 2003. Board C-E-O Karen Adams says the numbers are encouraging and indicate a growing awareness by workers and employers of the need for safety on the job.
