Dear Handsworth Parents and Guardians:

RE: Bomb threat at Handsworth Secondary on June 14, 2018

This morning, the North Vancouver RCMP responded to a bomb threat at Handsworth Secondary. Students and staff were evacuated from the school at 9:25am so the police could conduct their investigation.

Emergency Student Release:

Students were released at 10:15am to accommodate the RCMP investigation.

I would like to thank the RCMP for their prompt attention to this incident. As well, we thank students and staff for their cooperation during the evacuation and release.

A threat of this kind is a serious matter, and we encourage anyone with more information on the matter to contact the RCMP, or anyone on our staff.

Thank you.
