RCMP investigating bomb threats at Ottawa hospitals
Hospitals in Ottawa say they received a bomb threat on Wednesday morning.
The Ottawa Hospital, the Queensway Carleton Hospital and the Montfort Hospital confirmed to CTV News they received the threat.
Police have determined the threat to be low risk, but hospitals are conducting a full sweep and investigation of their campuses.
“We take all threats extremely seriously and police were called in right away to assess the situation,” read a statement from an Ottawa Hospital spokesperson.
“We will continue working closely with the police.”
Normal operations continue at all hospitals and scheduled appointments are continuing as planned.
Montfort hospital spokesperson Martin Sauvé says a search of the hospital was inconclusive and police “expressed their satisfaction.”
The threats come on the same day over 100 Jewish institutions reported receiving threatening emails, according to B’nai Brith.
The RCMP did not immediately respond to a request for comment and it remains unclear if the threats are related.
Ottawa police said in a post on social media site X that it was assisting the RCMP with the investigation.
“Police are taking pre-cautionary measures to ensure public safety while the investigation continues,” Ottawa police say.
“Please follow police direction on site.”
The Ottawa Police Service did not provide more information and directed all inquiries to the RCMP.
