A large outage has thousands of people without power outside of Halifax.

The massive outage stretches from the Chezzetcook area to Owl’s Head along the Eastern Shore.

Residents have been with electricity since Wednesday night.

Nova Scotia Power is working to fix the issue which they say is related to their equipment and are trying to narrow down where the problem is located.

The outage cancelled classes at Eastern Shore District High, Gaetz Brook Junior High and Oyster Pond Academy.
