St. Patrickhigh school in Thunder Bay, Ont., will reopen on Wednesday after police and board administration went through the school and did not find any credible evidence of a threat.

"The school is safe and ready to be reopened. All classes and activities will resume Wednesday," the board said in a statement shortly before noon Tuesday. An early-release day that had been scheduled for Wednesday will continue as scheduled.

The school had received a threat on Monday, and as a result it cancelled classes, buses and all extracurricular activities Tuesday, officials said.

The school did not specify the nature of the threat.

This is the third incident involving potential threats to school safety in the past few weeks, an elementary school was recently placed in a hold-and-secure, and French-Catholic schools closedtheir schoolsfor a day due to bomb threats made against them.

Neither of those incidents resulted in anyone being harmed.
