By Jessica Laing and Caitlin Snow Mar 7, 2026 | 11:21 AM

Impacts continue from the power outage at the Victoria General (VG) campus of the QEII in Halifax.

The outage happened early Saturday morning disrupting some services.

In an update at 8 p.m., Sunday, Nova Scotia Health (NSH) says although full power has been restored, they are working on the electrical system supporting the Centennial Building, with some operating rooms that remain closed.

“Clinical leaders have met to add operating room capacity at the Halifax Infirmary (HI) site and prioritize and redistribute or reschedule cases booked for the VG, HI and Dartmouth General Monday,” says NSH.

If your surgery is able to be rescheduled or be in a different location, you will be notified.

Most outpatient care and treatment at the VG will continue on Monday.

Updates will be provided if impacts continue through to Tuesday and beyond.
