Planned Outage Hits Lake Winnipeg Businesses | Winnipeg News

Manitoba Hydro’s planned power outage hit thousands along Lake Winnipeg’s East Beaches, from Beaconia to Victoria Beach—including Sagkeeng First Nation—forcing businesses to scramble. With only a week’s notice, shop owners like Lise Bourassa rented generators to save frozen goods, but one freezer already failed, wiping out inventory. While Hydro insists these outages are essential for safety and upgrades, the timing devastates seasonal tourism economies. More outages are scheduled across the province, with public hearings looming for long-term power solutions—but for now, communities brace for temporary disruptions.
