Toronto police release 2 people of interest related to device found near airport
CBC
Toronto police say they have released two people who they thought may have been linked to a suspicious package that prompted the Saturday shutdown of the city's downtown island airport.
Police say both people of interest who had been detained were released after an "extensive investigation," adding no charges were laid.
They say they're confident Saturday's incident was isolated and there is no further risk to the public.
The discovery of the suspected device near the mainland ferry terminal on Saturday afternoon prompted an evacuation of the area and a halt to flights at the Billy Bishop Airport.
Police say initial tests by the emergency disposal unit led officers to believe the package, found on a bike parked near the ferry terminal, may be an explosive. Officers later conducted a controlled detonation of the device.
A spokesperson for the police declined to clarify whether the device did, in fact, contain explosives, citing the nature of investigations into suspicious packages.
Flights resumed at the airport Sunday morning and those evacuated were allowed to return to their homes.
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.
