The power company EPCOR warned people living in Collingwood, Ontario, about possible power outages after storms moved through the area overnight on March 15 and March 16, 2026. While no major damage was reported immediately, the company told residents to be ready for potential electricity disruptions caused by the weather.

Residents can check for local issues by looking at the company’s outage map. If you lose power, the company encourages you to report the problem by calling 705-445-1800 or by using their text alert service.

One of the most common reasons for losing power in the region during a storm is tree limbs falling onto lines. This warning was issued for several nearby communities, including Collingwood, Stayner, and Creemore.

These alerts are a standard part of how the company responds to bad weather to ensure emergency crews are ready to help. Residents are urged to keep their phones charged and have emergency supplies ready whenever storms are expected in the area.
