Maine governor touring New Brunswick, Nova Scotia this week
Maine Gov. Janet Mills is touring the Maritimes this week, looking to shore up cross-border travel and business amidst frayed U.S.-Canada relations.
Gov. Mills and New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt discussed tariffs and trade in Fredericton on Tuesday during a 'fireside chat' hosted by the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce.
'I'm here today to talk to you and listen to you about how we can improve relations, despite some obstacles coming from powers that are outside our control,' Mills said to the Fredericton audience. 'And how we can continue the deep abiding cultural, economic, financial relationships that are so important to all of us.'
Mills and Holt met last week in Boston to talk tariffs and trade during a summit of eastern Canadian premiers and U.S. governors.
Mills landed in New Brunswick on Monday where she held a roundtable meeting with the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce.
On Wednesday, Mills is scheduled to meet with Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston in Halifax.

Fully integrated with the district's ERP system, the new digital-first tools have reduced manual workloads, improved accuracy, and enhanced financial transparency. Article content 'Before Euna, we were filing stacks of paper and manually retyping invoices and requisitions, which created unnecessary delays and clerical errors,' said Roger McGregor, Treasurer at SWLSD. 'Now, we've completely streamlined those processes—teachers can order what they need online, and invoices are automatically matched and processed. It's a night-and-day improvement.' Article content Procurement: 25% Cost Savings and Faster Approvals Article content Previously relying on paper-based requisitions and manual approvals, SWLSD implemented Euna Procurement's Marketplace as part of a broader district-wide digital modernization effort. Teachers and staff are now able to browse digital vendor catalogs, submit purchase requests online, and benefit from automated workflows and real-time data that integrates into SWLSD's existing ERP system for seamless financial tracking and reconciliation. The district saw a 25% cost savings on eligible purchases in their first year of using Euna Marketplace, processing over 1,200 orders and tracking more than $315,000 in spend through the solution.

Article content 'The ability to instantly find any invoice in the system—not search through a file box—is a huge time saver,' added McGregor. 'It also gives our leadership clear, real-time visibility into spending and outstanding payments.'
