WINNIPEG – A few thousand Manitoba homes and businesses remain without power following a blustery storm on the long weekend.
Manitoba Hydro says 11,000 customers in parts of the Interlake and northern Manitoba were without power at one point following strong winds and heavy snow.
That number was down to 3,100 by this morning, as crews worked to restore outages over a wide area.
Snow also hit parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
West of Calgary, the wintry weather saw several vehicles spun out in ditches between Banff and Jasper.
Manitoba Hydro said work to address the remaining outage is ongoing.
“Due to the large number of individual outages over a wide area, it takes time to patrol lines and find damage,” said an online post from the Crown utility.
“We’ll focus on fixing what will re-energize the most customers at once, so some outages may take longer to restore.”
