Ongoing storm repairs, public safety concerns leave thousands in Quebec without power – Montreal | Globalnews.ca


The utility company says around 5,600 hydro customers across the province were without power as of 1 p.m.

Hydro-Québec says fewer than 2,000 clients who lost power Thursday due to a thunderstorm are still without electricity, but other storms have led to further outages.
Public safety officials also requested power cuts in Montreal Sunday morning that affected 8,000 customers, though power was restored to all but 450 by 1 p.m.
Labbe says he doesn’t have specific information about why the cuts were requested, but notes they’re usually triggered by gas leaks or cars hitting hydro polls.
