Our Story: March ice storm batters Peterborough area
Description
December 26, 2025
In March, a major ice storm wreaked havoc in south central ontario- downing trees and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people. Some were left in the dark for weeks.
The clean-up took months and cost millions of dollars.
That included Peterborough and Peterborough County.
Our Global News team in the city reflects on the day the storm hit.
