Tens of thousands of people in the Ottawa-region continue to be without power as crews work to fix outages caused by heavy storms Saturday afternoon.
"Crews have worked overnight and will continue to do so over the coming days. Details were being withheld until the family was notified, they said. "We suspect more will be open throughout the day. Power will be restored initially to large scale outages, followed by smaller ones, keeping safety as the number one priority." On Saturday, more than 100,000 Hydro-Quรฉbec customers were in the dark in the Outaouais, as were more than 152,000 Hydro One customers across eastern Ontario. More than 350,000 customers in the region were initially left without power Saturday, and it is expected to take days before power is fully restored.
