In Manitoba, massive wildfires have led to Bell service disruptions in areas like Flin Flon and Cranberry Portage. The ongoing fires have caused significant damage, impacting telecommunications services in the region. Bell has been working tirelessly to address the outages and restore connectivity to affected customers.

Here are some key points to know about the situation:

– Bell crews are working non-stop, laying approximately 9km of fiber optic cables in collaboration with partners on the ground.
– The telecom company expects to have all services restored by the end of the day, ensuring that customers can resume their normal activities.
– Bell appreciates the patience of its customers during this challenging time and is committed to resolving the issues as quickly and safely as possible.

In a separate incident last week, Bell experienced outages in Oshawa, Ontario, following damage to its network cables by a third party digging operation. The company’s skilled crews had to reconnect thousands of individual fibers and rebuild underground cable ducts to restore service in the area.

We applaud Bell’s efforts to address these challenges promptly and ensure that Canadians stay connected during emergencies.
