Sunday Morning Report: Nearly 66,000 customers were affected in the area through Friday and Saturday.

Lake of Bays and area has just under a thousand customers and while the map is classifying the outage reason as still outstanding the belief is it will be restored Monday afternoon by 4:00 p.m.

Along Highway 60 there are still a few pockets of areas without power, affecting around 250 homes with a similar Monday evening forecast for power restoration.

In the Muskoka Lakes area, there are still a number of areas with around 500 customers affected overall.

Fire officials are asking people to be vigilant about turning off appliances that might have been in use prior to the storm and subsequent blackout. There were some isolated cases of small fires from things like stoves and irons coming back on while unattended.

Also unless you are very sure about the status of your freezer and whether or not it stayed frozen during the outage, you should be cautious with foods that may have thawed and refrozen while you were away from your property.
