Ontario Premier Doug Ford to visit areas without electricity since ice storm

Premier Doug Ford says he will be visiting some areas impacted by prolonged power outages since the ice storm that hit central and northern Ontario.

Hydro One says more than 195,000 homes and businesses are still in the dark since last weekend's storm that caused severe damage in cities such as Orillia and Peterborough.

Ford says power has been restored for more than 800,000 customers across the province and there are 3,700 crew members working on the ground to get power back up for the remaining customers.
