CBC
Alberta's police watchdog is investigating a fatal Yukon RCMP shooting in Whitehorse.
It a tweet posted at 4:17 p.m. Thursday, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) said it had been directed to investigate an "officer-involved shooting causing death that occurred today in Whitehorse."
More details were not immediately available and a Yukon RCMP spokesperson Thursday would not confirm where or when the shooting happened, or even that an investigation was underway. They also would not confirm if it had to do with the "serious incident" at the Air North complex in Whitehorse that same day.
ASIRT has an agreement with the Yukon government to investigate when police kill or seriously injure someone in the territory, or when serious or sensitive allegations of police misconduct arise.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
