HALIFAX, NS – Eighteen Nova Scotians died at work or because of their work in 2023. That tragic number is a decrease from 24 fatalities in 2022, but still a sobering reminder of the human impact of workplace tragedy, and a reminder that one workplace death is too many.

The Governor in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Labour, Skills and Immigration, has appointed two new members to the WCB Nova Scotia Board of Directors.
