Ontario Premier Doug Ford is set to visit some areas affected by prolonged power outages after a powerful ice storm hit central and northern parts of the province last weekend.

More than 172,000 homes and businesses were still in the dark this morning after the storm caused severe damage in cities such as Orillia and Peterborough.

Another storm system that moved through parts of Ontario mid-week caused additional scattered outages and slowed down restoration efforts.

Hydro One said power has been restored to more than 85 per cent of nearly a million affected customers, but there is “still a lot of work ahead” until everyone gets their electricity back.

It said crews continue to discover significant damage as they work on restoring power to customers.

The utility said its crew members have discovered 1,826 broken poles so far.
