Prepare for power outage

Upgrades to the electrical system will put take parts of Kelowna offline in the early hours of Monday morning.

FortisBC expects the scheduled outage to run from 1:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. It will affect about 300 customers in the downtown area from Cawston Avenue to Doyle Avenue and Ellis Street to Bertram Street.

It will also include some customers on Gaston Avenue and Cannery lane. 

Tips for planned power outages:

  • Protect your electronics, such as TVs, PVRs and computers, by using surge-protecting power bars.
  • Conserve cell phone batteries.
  • If you have an electric garage door opener, locate the manual release lever and learn how to operate it.
