Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Steven Boudreau is asked to contact Pictou County District RCMP or Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers.

The RCMP thanks the public for assisting through social media shares and offering tips.
Workers at four more long term care homes, including Shiretown and Ivey’s Terrace Nursing Homes in Trenton, who are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, have issued their official 48-hour notice to strike. The union says that it means that if the government doesn’t return to the table to bargain, those workers will hit the picket line Thursday morning at 7 AM.
If those 4 homes reach the picket line, that would mean a total of 29 locals and nearly 3,000 workers would be on strike in long term care.
The Province says tourism spending in Nova Scotia generated $3.7 billion in revenues in 2025, up eight per cent compared with 2024. Nova Scotia welcomed 2.1 million visitors, an increase of four per cent, or 79,000 more visitors, compared with 2024. There were more visitors from Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Western Canada and overseas, while there were fewer from Ontario and the United States. However, more flight connections resulted in more Americans arriving in the province by air. Accommodation operators reported three million room nights sold in 2025, a slight increase of one per cent, or 29,000 more than in 2024.
The provincial government wants to get more African Nova Scotians involved in the trades. The province is spending 480-thousand dollars on a new program that will provide one-on-one coaching and career advice for youth. Some programming will also be offered to families and caregivers. The program will help about 80 apprentices every year, along with 40 high school students and 20 families.
