I was a bit surprised that they were unaware of the power being out since I know they have been around replacing all the meters with "smart" ones which not only allow them to read them remotely but also see if they stop responding (IE no power) but apparently they are not 100% done with that so unless they get called they don't know.
I can understand their reluctance to send out a crew over the ice if it's not safe. Hopefully they will make the rounds soon. Ice is plenty thick around Bear Island anyways.
