Raven blamed for hour-long power outage in Whitehorse

A raven tripped a breaker at the Whistle Bend sub station, causing a power outage in several Whitehorse neighbourhoods Tuesday night, says ATCO Electric.

The power went out just after 7 p.m. to about 1,700 customers in the Porter Creek, Crestview, Whistle Bend and Mayo Road areas.

The power was restored about an hour later.
