Be ready to lose power as BC Hydro will perform an outage across the North Island this Thursday.
In a notice issued today, Hydro says it found damage on a transmission structure that supplies the North Island, with crews to work on this issue.
It says the work needs to happen quickly so a prolonged outage and possibly a fire can be avoided.
To finish this work, Hydro will cut off power in Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Woss, Alert Bay, Malcolm Island, Coal Harbour, Telegraph Cove, Holberg, Quatsino, Winter Harbour, and surrounding areas.
You’re asked to unplug all electronics and major appliances to keep your devices safe.
