VANCOUVER — After nearly one week of being without power, BC Hydro customers in the Southern Interior have had power restored.

The community of Johnsons Landing in the Kootenays was the last area to have power back on, which happened yesterday afternoon (Jan. 5).

BC Hydro crews had been responding to tens of thousands of outages across the region since New Year’s Eve, when a powerful snow storm made its way through.

The hardest-hit areas were in the Shuswap and North Okanagan.
