Winnipeg Bell Outage and 911 Concerns | Winnipeg News
Description
Winnipeg’s downtown is hit with major Bell MTS outages after construction crews accidentally drilled through critical underground cables—another blow to the city’s already fragile 911 infrastructure. This follows last month’s widespread 911 outage, which prompted Premier Wab Kinew to publicly demand a backup plan from Bell Canada before their next-gen system (not expected until 2027) is ready. Bell blames third-party contractors for both incidents, while crews scramble to restore service—keeping residents in the dark until more updates come.
