There is a heavy police presence at a downtown Ottawa high school and people are being told to shelter-in-place at nearby city hall.
At least eight police cruisers could be seen outside Lisgar Collegiate Institute just before noon on Wednesday. Officers with carbine rifles stood outside the school.At city hall, a sign on the doors to the Lisgar Street entrance advised people to shelter in place, and members of the public were denied entry.
"Due to an external environmental or atmospheric hazard you are advised to shelter in place," the sign read. "Exit from this facility is discouraged." At the city's planning and housing committee, a staff member said there was an ongoing incident at the nearby school. "Staff and members of council have been advised that due to an ongoing incident at Lisgar Collegiate, City Hall is in a secure facility status," said Caitlin Salter-MacDonald, manager of council and committee services. “This means that entry and exit from the facility is strongly discouraged and Ottawa police are currently on scene.”
“Currently, the doors to city hall are locked, so if there’s anyone listening who was planning to attend in person, you’re strongly encouraged to join this meeting virtually.”CTV News has reached out to the city and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board for details.
