File: 2026-472
On March 1, 2026, Vanderhoof RCMP received a report of possible threats to Nechako Valley Secondary School. Police are actively investigating the report; however, at this stage of the investigation, no information has been identified to suggest the threats are credible.
Out of an abundance of caution, Vanderhoof RCMP have increased patrols in the area of the school. These additional patrols are intended to provide visibility and reassurance to students, staff, and the wider community.
“At this time, we do not believe there is any risk to the public or to those within the school,” said Cpl. Brett, RCMP spokesperson. “We understand that these types of reports can cause concern for parents and the community, and we want to reassure everyone that we are actively investigating and will continue to maintain a presence around the school.”
Police continue to work closely with school administration as the investigation moves forward. Anyone with information is asked to contact Vanderhoof RCMP at 250-567-2222.
