Just a day after investigating threats to a high school in Enderby, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is investigating a threats report that resulted in the closure a Vernon high school yesterday.
On Thursday, May 15th, 2025, at approximately 1:30 p.m., police received a report about a threat that had been made against a high school in the 2700-block of 41st Ave in Vernon. In response to this information, school administration initiated an evacuation of the building to ensure the safety of staff and students.
