According to Marvin Greene, BPL Regional Manager, Northern Division, power supplied via the North Station was restored up to Bowen Sound by 3:00 p.m. Sunday, and further restoration brought power up to Cargill Creek around 10:00 p.m. Sunday. As of 9:00 a.m. Monday, September 1, Behring Point was the only community still without electricity; technicians are working to restore service by or before noon today.
