FNFN Chalo school in lockdown on the afternoon of June 4th

RCMP confirmed the lockdown was not initiated by the Northern Rockies RCMP detachment.

According to a Facebook post from FNFN’s community school, the Chalo School, on Thursday, June 4th at 12:32 p.m., the school had initiated a lockout procedure at the institution.

This is when the school’s doors are locked from the inside to the public, while classes continue. The hold-and-secure procedure was later lifted, according to a post from the school at 1:40 p.m.

BC Royal Canadian Mounted Police media relations representative, Sergeant Vanessa Munn, confirmed the lockdown of the nation, but told Energeticcity.ca the decision to lockdown the community came from FNFN.

Munn stated “local RCMP were made aware after the fact,” and there “are no ongoing concerns.”
