Southgate Middle School has been evacuated due to a bomb threat. All students and staff have been safely transferred to Georgia Park Elementary school. The four classes that were scheduled to go to Sayward for a field trip are safely on route to Sayward. RCMP have secured the site and are carefully searching the building.
It may take up to three hours for RCMP to conclude their search. Southgate students and staff will remain at Georgia Park Elementary until RCMP inform the public the building is clear.
The district takes all threats seriously and our number one priority is always the safety of our students and staff.
