THE CITY OF EDMUNDSTON IS ASKING FOR EVERYONE’S COLLABORATION

Jan 21, 2025

Due to power outages caused by NB Power's transmission system, the City of Edmundston will close the following facilities to avoid any system overload when power is restored:

- Saint-Basile Arena

- The Palladium

- Jean-Daigle Centre

- Arts Centre

- Mgr-W.-J.-Conway Public Library

- Activities planned at the Sports Pavilion * which is now a warm-up center, ready to welcome citizens.

- The Sports Pavilion swimming pools

- The outdoor skating rinks

The municipality is asking ALL citizens to do the same and reduce their electricity consumption, by turning down their thermostats and unplugging their electrical appliances until the power returns. Since it's extremely cold, energy demand will be very high when the power comes back on, and we want to avoid causing any further blackouts due to overloads.

Please note that we will provide an update later this afternoon.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
