North Vancouver university campuses have been forced to close due to a targeted and specific security threat. The threat was deemed serious enough to warrant the closure of both Capilano University and the University of British Columbia’s North Vancouver campus.
According to a statement released by the North Vancouver RCMP, the threat was received on Tuesday morning and was directed towards both universities. As a precautionary measure, both campuses were immediately evacuated and closed for the day.
The RCMP, along with campus security and local law enforcement, conducted a thorough search of the campuses but did not find any evidence of a threat. However, the closure of the campuses was still deemed necessary for the safety of students, faculty, and staff.
The closure has caused disruption for students and staff, with classes and exams being cancelled for the day. The universities have also advised students and staff to stay away from the campuses until further notice.
The RCMP is currently investigating the source of the threat and is working closely with both universities to ensure the safety of the community. They have also urged anyone with information about the threat to come forward and contact the North Vancouver RCMP.
In the meantime, both universities have assured the public that they are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of their students and staff. They have also advised students and staff to monitor their emails and social media for updates on when the campuses will reopen.
This targeted and specific security threat has caused concern and disruption, but the safety of the community remains the top priority. The RCMP and the universities are working diligently to resolve the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
