Multiple threats were made on Monday toward Calgary schools, as well as schools elsewhere.

Police do not currently believe the threats were legitimate but continue to investigate their origin.

“However, we take all threats seriously and are working closely with CPS and our school administration to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff.”
