Several hundred people in Kelowna will temporarily be without power on Saturday morning.
FortisBC says the power will be turned off in the Mission area, along Gordon Drive. The outage will start at 9 a.m., and will last about four hours.
The energy company says around 700 customers will be affected.
According to FortisBC, the outage is required so crews can replace a power pole that was damaged in a motor vehicle accident late Thursday night.
