Update - 5:00PM
We have temporarily restored power to the Wabi Hill tower and internet services are currently back online.

As BC Hydro is not expected to restore power services until tomorrow afternoon, internet services may go down again. Our team will make a second trip to the tower site this evening and deploy a generator in hopes of preventing another outage from occurring tomorrow.

We will monitor the situation and thank you for your continued patience!
