Gas Outage in Northern Ontario Town Affects Hundreds of Homes

Enbridge Gas announced it has completed repairs and is ready to restore gas service to homes in Cochenour, Ontario, following a natural gas outage that left residents without heat amid -26 C temperatures. Access to homes is required for service restoration, and residents unable to be present should contact Enbridge to make arrangements. Concerns have been raised about potential damage to homes and pets due to the cold and the challenges of emergency responses in remote areas. A similar outage last January lasted nearly 24 hours, raising questions about preparedness and response times.
