5000 In The Dark

It's a Friday night without power for many New Brunswickers. The lights are out for over 5000 NB Power customers including Rothesay, Fredericton, Moncton and St. Stephen.

The utility tells CHSJ News outages are due to sudden high winds causing tree branches, and in some cases, trees to make contact with the lines.

Crews are working to restore power but, due to the elevated number of outages occurring at this time, restoration times will vary. For more, click here
