Colville Lake, N.W.T., got off to a chilly start Thursday morning after a two-hour power outage resulted in frozen pipes.
The Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) scheduled community-wide power outages in Colville Lake Jan. 28 and 29, from 5 to 7 a.m. to carry out maintenance at the local plant. But with temperatures around -40 C on Thursday morning, several buildings and homes lost heat for hours after pipes froze.
