Thousands of households have been left without power in Toronto after a severe ice storm blanketed much of Canada.
Power companies have been working around the clock to restore electricity, moving from house to house and clearing broken branches and wires.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said crews from outside Toronto had been called in to help clean up after the storm.
"This has been a very unusual situation," she said.
"I understand there are 250 of the Toronto Hydro and other hydro service bucket trucks out right now working with back-up crews, and as you all know there are crews from other jurisdictions.
Workers restore power to homes in suburban Toronto"I've met people from Kingston who have come here, people from Manitoba who have come in order to help with the clean-up."
Local media has reported that some 30,000 households in Ontario and New Brunswick remain without electricity, including 18,000 homes in Toronto alone.
There are concerns that warmer temperatures and gusty winds could cause fresh power outages as melting ice and falling branches threaten to snap power lines.
