SaskPower crews worked throughout the night to restore power for thousands of people in northwest Saskatchewan.
At around 7:00 pm last night, a traffic accident cause the outage which affected a huge area including Pinehouse, Beauval, Buffalo Narrows, Dillon, Michel Village and surrounding areas.
SaskPower spokesperson Jonathan Tremblay says, at last word, some repair work was still being done.
“Our guys may still be working in the Ile a la Crosse area right now,” he says. “There still might be some customers that are off. We’re patrolling the lines and making sure everything is back up.”
Others areas left without power for several hours were Goodsoil, Green Lake, Meadow Lake, Pierceland and surrounding areas.
