Canadian Museum of Nature conducts bag searches after receiving threatening email

Visitors to the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa will have to have their bags checked before entering, after the museum received a threatening email this week.

Darcy Ferron, vice-president of strategic and external affairs at the Canadian Museum of Nature, told CTV News Ottawa that bag checks are standard procedure whenever there is a security risk to the museum.

This is not common in Canada, Mr. Ferron added.

"In the United States, they check bags every day. In Canada, we're used to being able to walk in, so it's really unfortunate, but we have to take it seriously," he said.

The RCMP says it continues to work closely with domestic and international police partners to advance its investigation into the individual or individuals responsible for online bomb threats across Canada this week.

“We take these threats very seriously and would like to thank all internal and external resources assisting in this criminal matter,” the RCMP said. “We recognize the fear and disruption these threats can cause across communities and organizations, particularly the Jewish community, and we will continue to update Canadians on developments as appropriate.”
