We are concerned about customers being without power tonight. We have opened our depots in Shelburne, Kentville, Stellarton, and Chester, as well as our heavy maintenance shop in Milton and our Bridgewater depot, to serve as comfort centres. #nsstorm

Remember that anything that burns creates carbon monoxide. Do not use BBQs, propane cookstoves, etc. indoors. Be careful using wood stoves or fireplaces as well. Check your CO2 alarms to ensure they're working. #nsstorm

Keep #Halloween costumes short so kids don't trip. If using masks ensure your little goblin can see properly! https://t.co/2i0u7a5M87

Happy Halloween! Remember that glow sticks or battery-operated lights are best in your jack-o-lanterns instead of candles!
