Gatineau police tweeted shortly before noon that the evacuations proceeded “calmly” and buses were at the scene to handle the crowds. The three Outaouais Cégep campuses have since been reopened.

However, an investigation of Heritage College found a “suspicious package” that police believed needed further inspection by explosive experts from the Sûreté du Québec. Police did not provide details on the package, but said the school will be open for normal activities on Thursday.
