The cause was a downed tree.

Meantime, Phelps Central School in Redbridge is closed today because of a loss of power.

School transportation officials advise school buses in East Parry Sound, south of Hwy 522 in the Almaguin area are cancelled today.

It’s because of snow accumulation and road conditions.
