RCMP are asking anyone in the area who might have seen something suspicious or who has information is asked to call 250-338-1321 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Late Friday, the provincial government issued a statement condemning the B次元官网网址渉atefulB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址渞acistB次元官网网址� messages, saying counsellors will be available at the school.
