The lockdowns were put in place around 10 am and lifted around noon.
“We put our Nation in lockdown earlier this morning as a precaution while we verified the information we received. Sometimes wrong information can spread and cause confusion, so we wanted to be sure,” community leaders said on social media.
Northeast School Division has issued a hold and secure alert for its schools in Melfort, but said that was just a precaution and there are no direct threats to their schools.
Parents are asked to not call or go to the school in the next short while.
