AN EMAIL THREAT HAS LED TO FOUR BUILDINGS IN TIMMINS BEING EVACUATED.
They are the YMCA, Pope Francis Elementary School, Schumacher Public School and the ABC daycare facility on Moore St. in South Porcupine.
Following standard procedure, administration at the four facilities was asked to evacuate voluntarily and complied.
Children in daycare at the Y were already at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex and were held there. It’s unclear where occupants of the other buildings were brought.
