Grand Erie District School Board

@BrantCommunity Hi there! May we re-post this on Grand Erie's Instagram and Facebook with credit?

THANK YOU to the PDHS Construction Class for building these fantastic bird boxes and to the talented artists at Kindred Spirits for transforming them with beautiful paintwork! This ongoing project creates even more vital habitats in Barkers Bush and along the Watts Pond Trails.

UPDATE: Please be advised that the precautionary hold and secure at Bellview School and Madonna Della Libera & the precautionary lockdown at Princess Elizabeth have all been lifted. Police will remain in the area to investigate a weapons related call for service. At approximately 2pm this afternoon, police received a report of a man with a firearm in the area of Tecumseh St and Salisbury Ave. A thorough search was conducted, including the use of drone technology, and the area schools were placed in hold and secure/lockdown as a precautionary measure while officers investigated. No arrests have been made in relation to this incident. We would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation as we conducted the investigation.

A message has been shared with families at Princess Elizabeth and Bellview public schools. We are following police direction as they investigate. Updates will be provided as they become available.
