If you’re wondering what exactly caused the all-day North Island power outage back on Saturday, Dec. 9, here’s the answer.
After the power went off to the entire Woss-north region around 10:40 in the morning, it was listed online as a “transmission circuit failure” before finally being restored around 11 p.m.
“There was a tree on the line just north of Gold River, so that unfortunately impacted the entire North Island,” said Ted Olynyk, BC Hydro’s spokesperson for the region.
