The provincial government has accepted the recommendations of the Minimum Wage Committee.

That means the minimum wage in Nova Scotia will reach $15 an hour on October 1^st.

Last month, the Committee recommended an increase to the minimum wage of 90 cents an hour, bringing it to $14.50 on April 1^st.

It then proposed another increase of 50 cents an hour to reach $15 an hour on October 1^st.

At the time, the government said it would look for input from community partners before making a decision on the committee’s recommendations.
