“I think it will probably take many months to restore some critical infrastructure, buildings and homes,” said Canada’s emergency minister.
The extent of damage caused by the powerful Cyclone Fionawhich hit Canada’s Atlantic coast on Saturday, is “unprecedented” and it will take many months to restore the critical infrastructure that was destroyed, Bill Blair, the minister responsible for emergencies, announced today.

“The scale of what we’re dealing with, I think, is unprecedented,” Blair told Reuters when asked how the situation compared to Hurricane Dorian’s passage through Nova Scotia in 2019.
“I think it will probably take many months to restore some critical infrastructure, buildings and homes,” he continued, explaining that roofs of schools and community centers were blown away by the winds.
