According to a brief emailed statement, BC RCMP said the issue happened during Telus’ scheduled maintenance work on their fibre network. “While members of the public can call the RCMP, all calls are being re-routed to Prince George in the ND.”The outage also impacted BC Emergency Health Services and triggered a code grey at multiple Interior Health locations including at the Penticton Regional Hospital.A Code Grey is an emergency designation that IH uses following a system failure that has jeopardized health care operations or service delivery.
