Extreme Wind Event – Power Outages The Township’s Emergency Control Group (ECG) met this morning in response to the effects of the extreme wind event experienced last night throughout North Frontenac resulting in downed trees and the loss of power for a significant number of our residents.

The ECG has contacted Hydro One and is currently awaiting an update on the estimated times hydro is to be restored to different areas within our communities.
