All the schools in a small Canadian province have been evacuated due to a bomb threat that police now believe may have been a hoax.
More than 19,000 students had to leave.
Officers searched about 60 schools on Prince Edward Island after getting a threat by fax. But police later told reporters that no device was found.
Universities in Nova Scotia were also evacuated. One suspicious package found near a library in Halifax, Nova Scotia, turned out to be rubbish.
The remote Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province, with a population of 146,000.
