St. John Paul II Catholic School under hold and secure

The Grande Prairie Catholic School Division says St. John Paul II Catholic School has been placed under a hold and secure this morning (Friday, Oct. 16).

In an email sent by the division to the Everything GP Newsroom, this is being done due to a situation involving police.

Classes and activities inside the school are continuing as normal, but officers are on site to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Access to and from the school is temporarily paused due to the situation.
