Kenora residents should prepare for a city wide power outage planned for Sunday September 15.

The outage is scheduled so Hydro One can upgrade electricity transmission equipment in the Kenora area.

According to Hydro One Media Relations crews will be replacing two aging utility poles. The current ones were likely installed in the 1960s and need to be replaced.

The time frame of the outage will be from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.
