Gas Odour Prompts Precautionary Evacuation at Michipicoten High School

Earlier today, Michipicoten High School students and staff were evacuated from the building as a precautionary measure as a gas odour was detected in the school.  Students and staff were relocated to Ecole St. Joseph for a short time. The gas company and the fire department assessed the situation and determined that the odour was not related to propane gas and deemed it safe for students and staff to re-enter the building.  The Algoma District School Board and Michipicoten High School administration extend their sincere thanks to the fire department for their swift and professional response, ensuring the safety and well-being of students, staff and everyone involved.
