Nova Scotia Power is continuing to reconnect customers, but many remain in the dark. As of 9 a.m. Monday, more than 192,000 customers were still out. It could be late Thursday before all customers are back on the grid.
The Town of Antigonish notes its electrical utility is dependent on Nova Scotia Power. Power restoration will be done in a phased approach with priority areas being St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, and Post Road so residents have access to fuel and services. More information should be available today.
