BRACEBRIDGE, ON – The power is back on in Bracebridge.
Initially, Lakeland Power reported about 5,000 customers were affected.
Temporary service has been restored to a large portion of the affected area. Hydro One continues to work to replace damaged poles and may need to interrupt the bypass power to get the repaired wires back on line.
A tractor-trailer had knocked wires down on Wellington Street north by Westvale Drive around 10:00am.
