The owners of an indoor hydroponic farm in New Brunswick say they are being forced to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel Ratt\u00e9 and his wife Chantal Gagnon say they can’t find employees to work their farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say the workload is too much for their current staff of six and they would need two more employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statistics Canada data shows the rate of national job vacancies in vegetable and melon farming reached 4.5 per cent in 2025, representing about one thousand jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newfoundland and Labrador\u2019s elections authority says the province\u2019s voting legislation is outdated and in need of updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elections N-L says the current legislation dates back to 1991 and was written before most people had access to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agency\u2019s report this month to the provincial government says the legislation was developed around paper-based voting processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It says the province established a committee in 2021 to modernize the Elections Act, but none of the group\u2019s recommended changes have been made so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of delays, a hospice unit in Nova Scotia’s South Shore is now fully open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unit for end-of-life care at Fishermen\u2019s Memorial Hospital in Lunenburg was originally scheduled to open in the fall of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Henderson, senior medical director for the health authority’s integrated palliative care network, said delays were due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of specialized staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
