Thousands of Canadians are spending another day in the cold and dark, as hydro crews continue working to restore electricity to those affected by the power outages caused by fierce winter storms last week.

As of early Monday morning, power was still out for nearly 71,000 Hydro−Quebec customers, more than 31,000 Hydro−One customers and 2,289 clients of NB Power.
