Manitoba Hydro making ‘significant progress’ restoring power after storm
Manitoba Hydro says ‘significant progress’ has been made, but many customers are still without power after a stretch of chaotic weather hit the province this week.
June storms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, along with flooding in the Montreal area, caused more than $1.1 billion in insured damage, the Insurance Bureau of Canada says.
Parts of Manitoba’s Parkland region have seen up to 119 mm of precipitation in the past few days, according to a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
