Canadian utilities said Friday they have dispatched about 435 workers to help restore power to millions of US homes and businesses left without electricity after superstorm Sandy.
Ontario’s Hydro One said 145 electrial line workers, forest workers and support staff crossed the border into New York state early Friday to work alongside US crews.
Hydro Quebec and New Brunswick Power sent 250 and 40 workers, respectively, to Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
Some 3.6 million homes were still without power Friday, four days after Sandy hit eastern United States.
