Power has been restored to approximately 1,000 customers in East York who were in the dark for approximately two hours because of what Toronto Hydro says was an issue with one of its transformers. At least three highrise buildings in the area were initially affected along with traffic lights and streetlights on Broadview Avenue, south of Pottery Road. A Sobeys grocery store was also affected with only checkout scanners and debit and credit machines receiving power. #toronto pic.twitter.com/JbyJ5Dexak — @HaydnWattersToronto Hydro says an issue with a padmount transformer near Evergreen Brick Works was to blame. Eckerman said there was no immediate threat to the boy's health, but that he was stuck for around 20 minutes.
