Power crews continue to make progress but hundreds of homes on the Acadian Peninsula are enduring the 12th straight day in the dark. Crews had cut the number of homes without power in half overnight Friday to roughly 15-hundred. By early Saturday evening that number was reduced to 212 smaller outages affecting just under 800 customers. As of this morning there were still 112 smaller outages being reported affecting 536 customers. New Brunswick Power hopes to have the last of the outages repaired by Tuesday night.

Repaired Dieppe Oval Could Reopen Monday
Dieppe’s new 1.4 million-dollar outdoor skating oval may reopen on Monday. The city’s manger of recreation tells the Times and Transcript that repairs have been made to an area of the Oval that hadn’t been freezing properly. Luc Bujold says the repair work is covered by the oval’s warranty and won’t be charged to taxpayers. The fix is currently being tested with the aim of reopening the oval tomorrow.
