In 2025 BC Hydro crews responded to over 61-thousand trouble calls around the province..some anything but ordinary.
The Cariboo experienced a couple of those unusual incidents this past year.
In July BC Hydro said a beaver in Horsefly brought down a large tree across multiple spans of wire, including a river crossing.
Crews worked through challenging conditions to restore power for 375 affected.
And in August, an osprey in Quesnel dropped a fish into BC Hydro power lines resulting in six customer outages and necessitating a pole replacement.
From birds to beavers, BC Hydro certainly had it’s share of memorable outages around the province and the Cariboo in 2025.
