A power interruption is scheduled from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 5, 2025. This Hydro One service disruption will affect Riverside Health Care facilities in both Rainy River and Emo.
Riverside has extensive experience with these planned outages and has worked diligently to ensure minimal disruption for all patients, residents, visitors, caregivers, and staff members at both the Rainy River Health Centre and Emo Health Centre during this time.
We continue to review operations to ensure seamless care for the community throughout this relatively short disruption period.
Emergency services will remain open at the Rainy River Health Centre, with strong contingency plans in place to maintain safe and high-quality treatment. We encourage those experiencing non-emergency situations to call Health Connect Ontario by dialing 811. In the event of an emergency, please call 911.
Additional staff will be on site at both Rainy River and Emo facilities to monitor operations throughout the day. The comfort and safety of all Riverside patients, clients, residents, visitors, caregivers, and staff members remain a top priority during the outage.
