The utility commission has formally mandated the service improvements we requested for Northern Cape Breton. Your signatures demonstrated the collective demand for accountability that finally forced this shift in policy. We will remain vigilant to ensure these infrastructure commitments are met in full.

Northern Cape Breton residents have been without power for 113 hours from September-December. Services provided by Nova Scotia Power are inadequate, especially considering rate increases over the past 2 years. Due to incidents where residents have been without power, students have been unable to go to school, many people have lost perishable food due to fridge and freezer warming, stores have lost thousands of dollars in having to discount and throw out food. Something has to be done where quality of service is declining, yet the price we are expected to pay increases. If you agree, please sign below and spread the message.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the widespread frustration regarding the current state of our electrical grid. It demonstrates that the community is no longer willing to accept declining service quality alongside rising costs.

Lost a whole freezer full of meat during that last outage. Nova Scotia Power needs to step up and stop charging us for service we arent even getting.

Ridiculous. My kids missed 3 days of school because of this mess. Enough is enough.

How do they justify another rate hike after this? My grocery bill is going through the roof and they expect us to just eat the cost of spoiled food too.

Living in the dark for nearly 5 days in this province is unacceptable. They take our money but when things actually break they are nowhere to be found.

113 hours is completely insane. We pay these ridiculous rates and get absolutely nothing in return when the weather turns. Fix the grid.
