Ontario minister mourns deaths caused by storm
Ottawa, May 6 (IBNS): Marie-France Lalonde, Ontario’s minister of community safety and correctional services, mourned the death of two people who were killed in yesterday’s wind storm.
“Our heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the two people who tragically lost their lives during yesterday night’s wind storm. I know many families and businesses across the province are dealing with the effects of the wind storm. I want to assure those affected that your local hydro utilities are working as quickly and safely as possible to return electricity to those without power.
“On behalf of all Ontarians, I want to say thank you to those hydro workers who worked throughout the night and are continuing to work today, to reconnect the hundreds of thousands of people who experienced outages and those still without power. Our first responders and municipal services are also working diligently to make our roads safe and clear branches from power lines. I urge people not to attempt to move downed branches or trees on your own,” she said.
