Dear GCI families,

I want to make you aware of a situation that affected our school today. Around 9:30 am Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) directed our school into a hold and secure.

As part of our hold and secure protocol, students and staff remained inside and all exterior doors were locked so no one could enter or exit the building. Staff and students were safe inside the school or in their classroom portable at all times. Our school remained in a hold and secure for approximately one hour and a half until we were assured by WRPS that it was safe to return to our regular school routines.

We will always take whatever precaution is necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We want to thank our partners at WRPS for helping to keep our schools safe places to learn. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at school. 

Sincerely,

Bryan Lozon 

Principal

Galt Collegiate Institute
