Some Ottawa businesses are hurting after the prolonged power outage caused by last week's tornadoes forced them to throw out tens of thousands of dollars worth of perishable food. After two days without power, Marché Hintonburg Market on Wellington Street W. is finally serving customers again. After last weekend's power outage, they were also forced to toss thousands of dollars worth of cheese and meats into the dumpster. Shelves at Ottawa Bagelshop and Deli remain bare days after staff were forced to toss spoiled food into the dumpster. The manager of Ottawa Bagelshop and Deli estimates the business lost as much as $40,000 due to the power outage.
