Correction to Aug. 6 story about N.S. ban on e-scooters and e-bikes

A recent Canadian Press article on August 6 contained an error regarding Nova Scotia's policy on electric scooters and e-bikes. The article falsely stated that children under 14 would be banned from riding these vehicles in the fall. However, the province had already restricted this age group from using e-scooters starting in 2022.

Now, the government is extending these restrictions to include e-bikes as well. The initial report was based on incomplete information from the provincial public works minister, leading to the inaccurate news piece.
