Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to visit Canada's storm-ravaged eastern provinces as soon as this week, as thousands of residents were still without power more than two days after storm Fiona swept homes into the sea and left at least one person dead.
Fiona was one of the worst storms to hit Canada, and government officials have said it could take months before infrastructure could be fully restored. The army has been sent to Nova Scotia to help with rescue and clean-up efforts, with other impacted provinces including Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island being offered federal assistance.
