Nova Scotia's Justice Department is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information about the disappearance of two young children in May.

The province's justice minister issued a statement today saying the disappearance on May 2 of six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack is being felt across the province and beyond.

Becky Druhan says investigators are working tirelessly to find answers.

She is urging anyone with information to share it with the RCMP.

The Mounties started a missing persons investigation after they received a report that the two children had wandered away from their rural home in Lansdowne Station, N.S., a heavily wooded area 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

The province says the reward amount will depend on the investigative value of the information.
