A power interruption is planned from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 28, 2025. This will affect Riverside Health Care facilities in Fort Frances, including both the La Verendrye General Hospital and Rainycrest Long Term Care Home.
Riverside has extensive experience with these outages and has worked diligently to ensure minimal disruption for all patients, clients, residents, visitors, caregivers and staff members at LVGH and Rainycrest during the outage.
We continue to review operations to ensure we can continue seamlessly caring for the community during this relatively short disruption period.
Emergency services will remain open at La Verendrye General Hospital, with strong contingency plans to maintain quality of treatment and care. We encourage those experiencing non-emergency situations to call Health Connect Ontario by dialing 811. If you experience an emergency, please call 911.
Additional staff will be on location at both LVGH and Rainycrest to monitor operations throughout the day, with continued comfort and safety for all Riverside patients, clients, residents, visitors, caregivers, and staff members a top priority during the outage.
