The Parksville Civic and Technology Centre, located at 100 Jensen Ave E, will be closed to the public on May 7 due to a planned power outage by BC Hydro.
The outage will affect the City of Parksville, Qualicum School District and the Vancouver Island Regional Library, Parksville branch, according to a news release by the city.
"BC Hydro has scheduled a system upgrade from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., which is outside the city’s control," the release said. "We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause for our residents."
The city’s operations facility at 1116 Herring Gull Way will not be affected by the power outage and staff will be available to respond to resident inquiries of an urgent nature; however, the city encourages residents to avoid May 7 to conduct their business with the city.
On May 7, the operations department can be reached at 250-248-5412 and ops@parksville.ca. After hours emergency contact is 250-248-6144
