Holy Family Elementary School students have been asked to shelter-in-place as a precaution with a bear in the neighbourhood.

The bear was seen across the street from the school on Rosslyn Road on Monday morning.

“All students and staff are safe and secure inside the building,” said the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board in an update. “We are working closely with authorities and will continue to monitor the situation.”

Normal activities will resume once it is deemed safe.

Updates will be provided as they become available.
