Manitoba Hydro said it is responding to an outage in Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood that has left nearly 3,000 customers without power.

According to a Manitoba Hydro post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the cause of the outage is a tree in contact with power lines.

As of 4 p.m. Saturday, it said crews are working on a fix to restore power to all affected customers within the hour.
