According to BC Hydro, over 1,800 are facing power outages in the Gorge-Tillicum area in Victoria, and Strawberry Vale in Saanich at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11.
The BC Hydro website says the outage is due to a "tree down across our wires" and crews are assigned and working on a solution.
Earlier in the morning, around 10 a.m., B.C. Hydro says a motor vehicle incident caused another outage near Quadra Village in Victoria, which affected about 180 people.
