Face of Nation : A widespread communications outage has left much of Yellowknife and surrounding communities without phone, internet and TV services.
In an email around 9:30 a.m. local time, Northwestel said customers should be prepared to be without service for “at least several hours” as technicians work to “repair infrastructure.”
It is not immediately clear what caused the outage. The communities of Whati and Behchoko are also affected, Northwestel said.
RCMP advise people to seek their local detachment in person in cases of emergency if the emergency number cannot be reached.
