There was apparently a power outage around the area of the Vernon switch in St. James that caused BellMTS some problems. I was surprised to hear that because I thought the major exchanges in Manitoba had both battery backup and diesel generators.
Would this be a reportable incident to the CRTC as it potentially impacted public safety? If so, there will eventually be an abridged or non-confidential version of the post-outage report published on the CRTC site for the public to view.
