Premier Doug Ford said Thursday that he plans to visit some areas affected by prolonged power outages since a powerful ice storm hit central and northern Ontario over the weekend.

More than 190,000 homes and businesses were still in the dark midday Thursday, a Hydro One outage map showed, after the storm caused severe damage in cities such as Orillia and Peterborough.
