VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Travel improved in parts of Canada Friday after being significantly hampered by heavy winter storms during the Christmas holiday, forecasters say.

As more winter weather bore down on British Columbia, both the TransLink and West Coast Express transport groups announced operations were finally running normally. the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said Thursday.

The improvement comes after reports of road, air and railway delays during the holiday week in parts of Canada hit worst by winter weather.

Nova Scotia residents had electrical power once again after inclement weather on Christmas Day left nearly 10,000 Nova Scotia Power customers in the dark.

Canwest News Service said the holiday airline backlog was also finally clearing up.

"Today, all runways are clear and operational," Vancouver Airport Authority spokeswoman Rebecca Catley said.
