Saskatoon has found itself in a dark space this afternoon, as much of the city faces a major power outage.

According to the City of Saskatoon, the outage is affecting multiple neighbourhoods in the north, east, west and central parts of the city.

The outage has slowed traffic across the city, as many traffic lights are not working properly.

On Tuesday afternoon, the City of Saskatoon said that equipment failure was responsible for the outage, and that electrical crews were repairing damage to that equipment.
