The electricity distribution utility in Ontario is working on Sunday to restore service to about 100,000 people who are without power.
High winds and wet snow on Saturday knocked down trees, felling power lines in many communities in the western, southern and central regions of the province, Hydro One said.
"We've got our restoration process in full gear," Hydro One official Al Manchee said.
"We're pulling out all the stops."
Some people have been without power since 6 p.m. Saturday.
Lake Huron and Georgian Bay regions are without power. Disruptions are reported in Owen Sound, Parry Sound, Penetanguishene and parts of London.
More than 50,000 people in southwestern B.C. lost power on Saturday after a windstorm knocked down lines and sent sea water pouring into homes.
