A Veridian Connections crew, including some members from Belleville, is working hard to restore hydro service to residents of Florida, hard-hit by Hurricane Irma.
Mary Thomas spoke with supervisor Joe Lonsberry of Belleville, on the ground in Homestead, Florida.
Lonsberry said the residents were really pleased to see the Canadian crew and have electricity back on, especially having their air conditioning working again during the high temperatures.
Lonsberry says the crew will probably be on the job in Florida for another two weeks.
You can catch host Mary Thomas’ full interview with Joe Lonsberry, about the crew’s experience in Florida, on Newsmaker Sunday this Sunday at the noon hour on 800 CJBQ.
