A portion of downtown Toronto will be without power for 12 hours between Saturday and Sunday.

Toronto Hydro says the planned outage from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. is to support equipment replacement work by Hydro One.

Select residential and commercial buildings within the area of Queen Street West, south to Front Street, and Bathurst Street, east to Bay Street, will be impacted.

“We know power outages can be disruptive and we appreciate your patience and understanding while crews complete this vital work to maintain reliable service,” Toronto Hydro said in a post on its website.
