Nova Scotia Power to temporarily shut off power in part of Cape Breton to carry out repairs

A power outage affecting over 3,000 customers in the Whycocomagh area of Cape Breton will be expanded for two hours at noon AT on Sunday as Nova Scotia Power carries out repairs. On Saturday night, over 9,000 customers were affected by the outage, which also included Chéticamp, Inverness, Mabou and Baddeck. Sunday's planned outage will include customers in the areas that previously had their power restored. It's unclear how many people will lose power as a result of this measure. In a post on X, the utility said the additional outage was being done to ensure power could be safely restored to all areas. Bonny MacIsaac, warden for the Municipality of the County of Inverness, said the outage coincided with the busy Inverness Gathering weekend. She said some businesses had to close as a result of the outage and haven't reopened. MORE TOP STORIES
