Information about Lockdown at GCVI-Tuesday April 19th, 2022

On Tuesday afternoon, Guelph Police instructed Guelph CVI to put the school into “lockdown” as a precautionary measure as they conducted an investigation.

When a school is placed in lockdown, all occupants in the building are instructed to move to a secure location, all doors are locked including exterior and classroom doors, and all people inside the school are instructed to stay where they are until they are told otherwise by the police.

The school phoned all parents/guardians right away to inform them of the lockdown, and asked that parents not come to the school while the police continue their investigation.

At approximately 3:30pm, police completed their investigation and the school was taken out of lockdown. Police stated that the lockdown was a precautionary measure and there was no threat to public safety. Police said they will share additional details when they are available. The school called all parents/guardians again with an update once the police had completed the investigation.
