Threats Towards Cold Lake Schools Determined to be a Hoax

Cold Lake RCMP responded quickly Tuesday morning after threats were made against St. Dominic’s and Holy Cross schools.

At around 9:16 a.m. on September 24, 2025, RCMP received information that led to both schools being placed on lockdown. Officers moved in immediately, but after further investigation the threats were determined to be a hoax. Police say there is no information to suggest any ongoing risk to the schools or members of the public.

The investigation into the origin of the calls continues.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cold Lake RCMP at 780-594-3301. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), visit www.P3Tips.com, or use the P3 Tips app.
