Can you hear me now?

According to SaskTel, the outage is affecting wireless customers in and around “Marean Lake, Porcupine Plain, Greenwater, Weekes, Bertwell, Carrot River, and Pataigan.”
“Wireless services will be restored once power has been restored,” the Crown corporation said in a statement.
“In the event of an emergency, residents in the affected communities and areas may need to use alternative methods to contact emergency services until wireless and landline services are restored.”
SaskTel said that might mean travelling to an area that still has coverage, or getting help directly from local emergency authorities.
SaskPower, meanwhile, is dealing with unplanned outages in numerous areas after the stormy weekend, including in the areas around Shellbrook, Spiritwood, Turtleford, Melfort, Assiniboia, Pelican Narrows, Hudson Bay and Nipawin, as well as in rural communities to the east and west of Saskatoon.
