Update 8:10PM:
Service has been restored. Hydro one down from Hemlo to White River due to an "Animal Contact".

Big thanks to the Hydro one crews for working hard and restoring the power back to the highway.

We apologize for the inconvenience that outage had caused and hope you have a great evening.

Thanks,
Kane

Update 1:50 PM:
Hydro One is reporting two additional power outages spanning from Hemlo to White River. Their updated estimated restoration time is now 9:00 PM.

Automated system updates often assign default timelines when an initial target is missed, so we're hopeful service will return much sooner.

We’ll continue monitoring the situation closely and share new details as soon as we have them.

Thanks,
Kane
