This afternoon, at approx. 12:30pm, the RCMP were called to assist with a possible threat made to one of our students from an individual who does not attend Riverside Sec. As a result of this threat, the police felt it was important to restrict access of individuals to and from our building. The precaution to restrict access was important in ensuring the safety of our students. By 1:55pm the police had apprehended this individual off site. I immediately made an announcement to the students to inform them that it was then safe to enter and exit the building. We take the safety of our students and staff very seriously. We were pleased with the cooperation of our students during the duration that the police were on site. This matter has now become a police investigation.
Sincerely,
Anthony Ciolfitto
Principal
