  • Although the HydroOne outage map indicates up to 76 customers are affected, with a projection of May 1st for power restoration, many cottagers have responded to me to report they have power.

• Update 2025 04 08 morning:
  • Anstruther: Passable
  • Fire Route 55 (Jessica Drive): has a few permanent residents. They’ve cleared the numerous downed trees , so it is more passable. 
  • Fire Route 57: cleared for car passage. Although clear of trees, the road is still soft and snow covered in places, and at this point, remains not quite drivable.
  • Fire Route 58: in rough shape but passable
  • Fire Route 58F&G: is not passable unless you’re driving a serious truck with high clearance. It’s still snow covered in place. Beaver pond overflowed and washed out part of the road
  • Fire Route 58D: the road is passable, although road work will be required
