P.E.I. schools under evacuation order due to a potential threat

RCMP say there are no reports of injuries

All schools in P.E.I. are under an evacuation order due to a potential threat, say police.

A police news release Wednesday says school staff are taking students to safe locations in the community, and buses will meet the children there.

Child-care centres in schools will follow the schools' evacuation procedures. Other child-care centres will operate as usual.

Parents and guardians can now pick up their children from the safe locations, which are identified in each school's evacuation plan. Parents can go to the school, where staff will direct them to the safe locations, said the province's Department of Education.

RCMP say there are no reports of injuries.

Police said they will hold a news conference at noon AT.

The University of Prince Edward Island and Holland College are also closed.

In Nova Scotia, NSCC campuses in Halifax and Cape Breton were also evacuated Wednesday, due to bomb threats.

It's not clear if the evacuations are linked.
