HCF strongly condemns the anonymous bomb threat targeting 9 schools in Oakville and Burlington this morning.
Our children’s safety is non-negotiable. These hoaxes terrorize families, disrupt education, and waste critical police resources , all while the same perpetrator appears linked to similar threats in Toronto.
@HaltonPolice ,
@HaltonDSB , and
@HCDSB:
1. Conduct immediate, transparent searches and keep parents fully informed.
2. Treat this as a serious criminal act, identify, arrest, and prosecute the individual responsible to the fullest extent of the law.
3. Implement enhanced security protocols and rapid-response plans across all Halton schools to prevent recurrence.
@ONgov : Invest in school safety infrastructure and cyber-threat investigation units.
HCF stands shoulder-to-shoulder with every Halton family. Our kids deserve to learn without fear.
We demand accountability and action.
