Thousands of households in Canada Still without Heat or Power following ice storm

Several days have passed since an ice storm hit central and Atlantic Canada. And thousands of households still remain without heat and light in Ontario and New Brunswick, with authorities struggling to restore power.


Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne also said crews from outside Toronto were called in to help clean up the city after the storm. There are now fears that warming temperatures and gusty winds could cause fresh power outages in Toronto in the coming days. That's because melting ice and tree branches may fall on power lines.
