Bomb Threat at Wilberforce School

On 22 February at 12:35 PM a bomb threat was 'called in' to Wilberforce Elementary School. WAPVA responded, redirecting traffic and securing the area while the children and teachers were evacuated to the Fire Hall and Lloyd Watson Center. Meanwhile Volunteer Firemen laid hoses in case of a detonation. Two OPP Canine Units conducted a thorough search of the premises. No explosives were found and school resumed the next day.

An OPP Canine Unit prepares to conduct its search. Notice the hoses have already been laid, in case of detonation.

Firefighters wait for the OPP Canine Units to respond, while WAPVA keeps the area clear and directs traffic.

WAPVA makes community safer.

At a recent Community Policing quarterly zone meeting, attended by 42 people, the OPP reported that property crimes are down almost 50% from last year. Officers and Reeve Keith Tallman praised WAPVA for making the community safer. In addition, WAPVA's activity log shows 49 incidents, down from 53 last year. Keep your EYES & EARS open!
