Ottawa Now - Cuban Canadians struggling to stay in contact with relatives amid recent blackouts

March 18, 2026

We are taking a gander at what’s been happening in Cuba over the past few days. On Monday, the country’s electrical grid collapsed, plunging 11 million residents into darkness. On Tuesday, Cuban officials reported that the country had been reconnected.

Kristy Cameron checks in with Ottawa resident Eugenio Landeiro Reyes, who is also a member of the Cuban Canadians Coalition.
