In Nova Scotia, pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. If someone has begun to cross, you must stop and let them finish crossing before you proceed. This means coming to a complete stop before the crosswalk line and staying stopped until the pedestrian has cleared the roadway. Changing lanes, honking, or just driving cautiously do not meet the requirement, and could put the pedestrian at risk. Once the person is safely across, you may resume driving.
