Mayor Tory visited the 15-story apartment building on Pharmacy Ave. which is still without permanent power this morning. There is, apparently, a temporary generator providing some electricity but it appears things are quite cold. The mayor tweeted this picture which is moving and says many things. Residents were dispersed among the homes of friends and warming centres overnight as efforts continued to restore power to the building. It all started with a fire in the electrical room of the large building. about 12.30 p.m. Tuesday
