Think it's rather bizzare in a major area such as North Van (and other areas in the lower main land) this occurs. Can't even remember once in all the years I've been in Edmonton we've had the power out for more than 1/2 an hour.
Even in the rural areas of Alberta long duration outages are rare. Play around with some radar sites sort of in the four corners of the Province. They all have gensets and know about the only time they run is when someone is one site for checks. We'll get the odd bump but usually so short we just carry load on UPSs and utility returns before the generator even starts.
