Power outage promts college closure


A power outage at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College has forced the cancellation of classes Thursday.  The Vernon campus will be closed, and all day and evening classes cancelled, on Thursday, Sept. 8 after a transformer failure late Wednesday afternoon disrupted the campus’ electricity. Classes taking place at the Vernon Aerospace centre at the airport are unaffected and will continue as scheduled. College staff are working to address the issue and replace the failed transformer within 24 hours and expect to have power back up and running at the campus by the end of day Thursday.  The Okanagan College website will provide updated information as it becomes available.Anyone with questions can also call the switchboard at: 1-877-755-2266
