Toronto Hydro crews restore power to approximately 129,000 customers

• Finch Ave. E (north), Eglinton Ave. E (south), Bayview Ave. (east), Yonge St. (west)
• (Sheppard Subway is served from this area)
• Islington and Eglington area
• Southeast of Scarborough, and
• Victoria Park and Eglinton area (Bermondsey)

The company made significant progress today and will continue to work safely to get all power restored. Crews will restore feeders, the power lines that serve several hundred to several thousand customers each. This will restore large areas first. Then crews will move on to smaller single street and single home outages.

Toronto Hydro has also requested restoration assistance from other jurisdictions. Utilities have responded to our call, and the details are being worked out. It is expected crews will begin to arrive tomorrow.

The City of Toronto is operating nine Reception centres, where those in need can access food, water, warmth and rest. For more information, please visit Toronto.ca
