The Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver was evacuated after a bomb threat Sunday morning, the second such incident in less than a week.

The emailed threat was received around 9 a.m. stating there was a bomb inside the centre on West 41st Avenue and Oak Street.

“We enacted our emergency preparedness measures, called police and secured the promises, then resumed operations once we were cleared and it was safe for people to go back in,” said centre director Eldad Goldfarb.

The bomb threat, like the emailed threat on Tuesday, was a hoax.

“They’re hoaxes, but we take them very seriously,” said Goldfarb. “These threats cause disruption. They’re unpleasant. People are frustrated and angry, and they want it stop.”
