According to the Crown corporation, non-emergency services will be delayed due to a labour dispute, but contingency plans will ensure they are ready for any emergency situations.

Customers calling Manitoba Hydro for problems with their natural gas appliances will be directed to a local repair shop, and any water heater exchanges or inspections will be rescheduled.
