Monday, September 16, 2013 @ 8:35 AM

Prince George, B.C. –  The power  is out  in  much of College Heights this morning, impacting some 2507 customers.   SD 57 Superintendent Brian Pepper says  despite the outage, schools in College Heights are operating as normal today.  BC Hyrdo expects to have the issues  fixed by 10:30 this morning.

That is not the situation in  Valemount.  The power went out at about 3:19 this morning in that community , leaving  more than 900  customers in the dark.  Pepper says schools in Valemount ( Valemount  Elementary and Valemount Secondary) will NOT  be open  to classes today.  Staff are on site  and will supervise sturdents until transportation home can be arranged.

Except for the Montessori school on Gladstone. They are advising to pick kids up due to it being very dark and that there is no heat. But I am sure Mr. Pepper forgot to mention that to us all.

Redneckrye, sorry to hear that Mr Pepper did not call you personally to inform you every little detail

Power is on

For those who homeschool their kids, this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience! ;-)
