Almost 10,000 people are without power across the Lower Mainland, BC Hydro said Saturday evening.
More than 2,000 Vancouver customers have been dealing with outages since just after 6 p.m. due to “equipment failure,” the utility says.
Thousands across Anmore, Belcarra, Burnaby, Langley, North Vancouver, and Port Moody have been without electricity since 5:30 p.m., with the vast majority of outages being due to trees falling across power lines.
The cause is still being investigated for around 1,000 customers across the region.
