Nova Scotia Power temporarily shut off power in part of Cape Breton to carry out repairs

A power outage affecting over 3,000 customers in the Whycocomagh area of Cape Breton was expanded for two hours at noon AT on Sunday as Nova Scotia Power carried out repairs. But as of 3:30 p.m. AT Sunday the utility's outage map showed that power had been restored to all affected areas. On Saturday night, over 9,000 customers were affected by the outage, which also included Chéticamp, Inverness, Mabou and Baddeck. Sunday's planned outage included customers in the areas that previously had their power restored. In a post on X, the utility said the additional outage was being done to ensure power could be safely restored to all areas. At one point, Sunday more than 11,000 customers were without electricity. Asked what the cause of the initial outage was, a Nova Scotia Power spokesperson said the company is focused on restoring power. Bonny MacIsaac, warden for the Municipality of the County of Inverness, said the outage coincided with the busy Inverness Gathering weekend. She said some businesses had to close as a result of the outage and haven't reopened. This includes the only grocery store in the community of Inverness, said MacIsaac.

$500K lotto win a ‘big blessing' for Vancouver woman

Rowena Ibusca is shown in this photo provided by the B.C. Lotto Corporation. A Vancouver woman burst into tears after receiving life-changing news in a drug store earlier this month. Rowena Ibusca won a $500,000 LottoMax jackpot in the July 11 draw, splitting the Maxmillions prize with another lucky ticket holder in Ontario, according to a statement from the B.C. Lottery Corporation. 'When I scanned, I first thought it said $500, but then I scanned it again and just started crying. The first thing I said was, 'Is this true?'' Ibusca told the BCLC. When she went home and told her daughter, the tears of joy kept on flowing. 'We were both jumping and crying,' Ibusca said, recalling the moment she shared the news. Ibusca told the BCLC she still hasn't decided what to do with the windfall but described it as a 'big blessing' and a 'big help.' The odds of winning the Maxmillions prize are 3 in 99,884,400. Ibusca bought the winning ticket at the Point Grey Pharmacy on West 10th Avenue.
