Manitoba Hydro is planning to cut power along the east side of Lake Winnipeg on May 18.

The planned outtage is from 8:00 am until around 4:00 pm and will effect 6,223 accounts, nearly 5,000 of which are seasonal dwellings. Hydro is upgrading the stations due to growth in the area.

The areas included are Victoria Beach, Wanasing Beach, Albert Beach, Traverse Bay, Hillside Beach, Belair, Lester Beach, Grand Beach, Grand Marais, Sunset Beach, Whites and Estates, Lakeshore Heights, Balsam Bay, Halcyon Cove, Balsam Harbour, Boulder Bay, Island Beach and Beaconia.
