Welcome along to the thursday edition of "global news" morning. It is may the 23rd. Thanks for joining us. Paul brothers here with a look at your local news headlines before you head out to start your day today. Well, as a parent, I'm breathing a sigh of relief after this news came down. Yesterday, the nova scotia teachers union have ratified its three year agreement with the province. Now, in an online ratification vote held on wednesday, 91% of nsgeu members voted over 80% in favor of this deal. The new contract will give teachers a salary increase of 11.47% over three years. Substitute teachers will also get a 12% salary increase. The previous contract expired last july. Now the province and nsgeu engaged in collective bargaining over a period of about ten months before an agreement was reached in late april, nova scotia rcmp says an official apology for street checks will be issued in september. The practice of street checks involves police randomly stopping people on the street to record their personal information. Nova scotia banned the practice following a 2019 report, which found that it disproportionately affected african nova scotians. The findings led to a public apology later that year. By then, halifax police chief dan kinsella, but the rcmp resisted an apology until announcing plans to do so last year. Rcmp say senior staff attended consultation sessions in africa, nova scotia and communities between september 2023 and january of 2024. The final action plan will be presented along with the official apology at the north preston community center coming up on september the 7th. New data from statistics canada is providing an updated look into the population growth at halifax, and nova scotia as a whole is continuing to see as megan king reports, hrm's community is getting younger, planting roots and diversifying. Take a look. >> Halifax regional municipality continues to see a steady increase in population, with statistics canada data showing another record in 2023 for the city's largest annual growth. >> We're getting younger, the share of youth. We're defining that as age 20 to 30 arbitrarily, that shares hit a record high and records we have going back to about 2000, I guess it is. And the median age has gone down again. So in that sense, halifax is getting to be a younger city. >> Hrm saw a population increase of 4% from 2022 to 2023, with more than 492,000 halifax residents. The municipality accounts for 58% of nova scotia's growth, making up roughly half of the province's population. >> We've seen a lot of young adults moving here over the past 4 or 5 years, and of course, those are the people usually starting families, and we're starting to see another generation coming there. >> The median age in halifax has gone down from 40 to 39 over the past five years, and the city has hit its highest number of births in nearly a decade, with the bulk of growth from 2022 to 2023. Coming from international migrants, it's clear that efforts to promote migration to the area were fruitful. There was a really widespread consensus across the province that we all needed to do things to bring more people here, bring more immigrants here, make them feel welcome, keep them here, keep our kids here. >> Instead of getting a degree and heading off to toronto or calgary or vancouver, keep them here or entice them to come back. And we've been successful in a lot of that that shows up in those youth numbers. >> Well, hrm hit a record high for its youth population. It also saw a record high for seniors in preparation for an aging population, systems will need to catch up. We're seeing increase, increases in building permits. >> We're seeing increases in construction at a greater rate than other provinces. >> So I think that that bodes well for the longer term. >> We're definitely seeing more people come across the bridge, but we're definitely planning for the, you know, doubling of the population in 50 years. So all of our plans take that into consideration. >> Munro says he would assume that growth will continue at a fairly steady pace in the years ahead. Megan king "global news" halifax the immigrant services association of nova scotia held its first ever employer forum in halifax on wednesday. >> The sold out event aimed to connect provincial employers and newcomers who are eager to enter the workforce. In addition to networking, the forum featured programs that encourage participants to share their stories and challenges. Isans says it's all about learning and collaboration, supporting employers big and small, across nova scotia to diverse ify their workforce. >> Support newcomers immigrant talent into their workplaces. We hope to help all industries, but especially those that are in construction and health care. You know, with new programs and

immigration streams opening for them, we're here to support them. >> More than 150 employers took part in the employer forum. The event is set to take place annually. Moving forward. We're learning more about a halifax school bus that nearly collided with a tractor trailer on highway 102 last week. The driver is being hailed as a hero after he managed to avert a potential crash that could have resulted in tragic consequences. As zack power tells us, the bus came centimeters away from barreling into the truck. >> For the past nine years, three times a day, terry brown calls this seat his office. Picking up and dropping kids off at school. But while driving late last week, he saw something he'll never forget. >> As soon as I hit the guardrail, it immediately just took a hard a hard right and then came down over the embankment. >> You see this tractor trailer carrying gravel slid off the overpass above and onto one of halifax's busiest highways and also onto the direct path of terry's school bus. >> I was hard on the brakes, but as hard as I could get on the brakes, and for a few seconds I wasn't sure if I was going to get it stopped in time, be honest with you. But he did stop in time, avoiding boulders and rocks from the falling truck. >> And just in time too, with only a foot to spare. >> I was so glad when I did get the bus stopped, and I checked with the kids to make sure they're all okay, and thank god they were all seated in their seats at the time. I think he's a hero. >> Yeah, absolutely. Travelling 100km an hour and took six seconds to stop, which is hard enough in a compact sedan, let alone a 13 to 14 ton bus. >> According to terry, his act isn't heroic. It's just another day on the job. >> I don't think I'm a hero, I just I had to do, you know, I just don't want to had to do. And if not for his quick reaction, I hate to even say I really would. And if I would have been 2 or 3 seconds later, I don't know. >> Zack power "global news" halifax >> And time to say good morning to meteorologist ross hull. Good morning to you ross. >> Good morning paul. >> How are you doing this morning? >> I am great, you know, there is one thing that meteorologists, you know, it's one of those things where we, we like to talk about big storms. Obviously, they can have a big impact. But there's one day today which is kind of important. We're looking at forecast for the atlantic hurricane season from the canadian hurricane center. >> Yes, you're right. The canadian hurricane center going to hold a briefing this afternoon to discuss its thoughts on the 2024 atlantic hurricane season. So I know this has been on your radar for quite some time. What are your thoughts on what's going to happen? >> Yeah, well, we've got a la nina building and we've still got warmer than normal sea surface temperatures, so I think it's going to be a busier than normal atlantic hurricane season. But it just takes one storm as we know, to move onshore. So we'll keep an eye on that situation. Looking forward to getting some information from the canadian hurricane center. And let's take a look at our conditions out there this morning. We do have some cloud cover to start, or at least a pretty quiet weather conditions. There is some cloud cover and some showers and some thunderstorms to our west. That line will eventually affect new brunswick. A few storms and see that around southeastern sections of new brunswick this morning. But across nova scotia, quiet and it will be another warm and humid day across the entire area. Winds, for the most part, are out of the south, the prevailing winds anyway, and we're starting off with some warm conditions out there, mid teens around halifax and we're into the double digits already as we head through portions of new brunswick. In terms of your forecast conditions, need to mention coastal areas around halifax 16 but inland going to get up to the high 20s. The humidex near 30 today. That's the same situation along coastal areas in nova scotia. Going to be much more warm or warmer as we head inland, and we're looking at temperatures into the high 20s through areas like moncton, for instance, the humidex will be near 35. There is a cold front on the way, though that will bring us the chance of some showers and some thunderstorms around fredericton . In terms of the situation in halifax and the hrm across much of nova scotia, that potential for rain will be later tonight. So this evening, but towards closer to midnight into the early morning hours on friday, you can see that risk of a thunderstorm. Then that clears out. Still warm on friday. Not quite as humid and it will be cooler but still remaining dry as we head into the weekend. You can see that. All right, let's take a look at how much rain to expect. Some areas that do see thunderstorms could see 510 plus millimeters. So something to keep in mind. Could be some heavier downpours. Your forecast conditions now around fredericton. We're looking at a high of 27 on friday, 22 on saturday. So a little cooler. Not quite as humid after the passage of that cold front, but overall not too bad. It is looking dry. We do have that chance of showers early in the day on friday in halifax and the hrm. Then looking ahead to the weekend. Not too bad. 21 on saturday and we're looking at
