It is noted that two threatening calls were made in respect of one school in the city of Edmundston, but local authorities decided to cancel classes in 18 local educational institutions.
According to the channel, the incident affected more than 5 thousand students and 400 teachers.
In fact what happened is being investigated. At the same time, parents were advised not to let the children out on the street.
“This may be a joke about Halloween, but we cannot take risks in this situation,” said local police spokesman Steve Robinson.
Earlier in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, a teenager was detained due to threats against the school.
