Power restored for many overnightMeanwhile, Hydro Ottawa crews managed to restore power to thousands of customers overnight, two days after the tornadoes struck the National Capital Region. Hydro Ottawa crews and external contractors will be out "in full force" Monday doing line checks and looking into the issues at individual properties. Just outside Ottawa in Hydro One territory, about 1,600 customers remained without power east of Belleville as of 11 a.m. The good news is the power outage came at the end of the week, when inventory is low, said Ottawa Food Bank CEO Michael Maidment. It will also allow us to buy perishable food when the power comes back on, and we have good buying power at the Ottawa Food Bank."
