Approximately 1,372 homes and businesses in Barrie’s south end are without power on Friday morning.
According to Alectra Utilities, the outage is affecting customers in the Ardagh Road and Gore Drive area.

According to Guedes, power to the remaining one per cent will hopefully be restored before 1 p.m.
“Crews are working as quickly and as safely as possible. So far the weather seems to be cooperating, however, if we do run into rain or anything else, that could slow them down a little bit,” he said.
