The recent post alluding to it being a snow day and to refrain from criminal activity was not created or posted by the Nanaimo RCMP. An online satirical outfit has claimed responsibility. We have contacted them concerning our displeasure, and we apologize for any confusion
Big shout out to the teachers and staff at both Dover Bay & McGirr for their handling of the Hold and Secure & Lock Down. Calm, cool and professional, which alleviated the stress building in many of the students. Great job!
