RCMP responded to another bomb threat Tuesday, this time at the Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus in Truro.
Police at the Truro detachment received a non-specific threat shortly after 4:30 p.m. and immediately notified campus security officials.
Students, staff and faculty were told to leave the campus for most of the night before getting the all clear from police shortly after 10 p.m. Nothing suspicious was found.
“The safety of our students, faculty and staff is paramount and we take that responsibility very seriously. Any kind of threat to their safety has to be taken seriously, too,” Dr. David Gray, dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and principal of the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus, said.

Students from the campus residence were relocated to the Bible Hill Fire Hall while RCMP conducted their investigation.
The students were kept warm and dry and Dalhousie University said they ordered nearly 40 pizzas to keep them fed.
Several areas of the campus were blocked off to accommodate RCMP sweeps of various buildings.
Bridgewater police also respond to bomb threat
Bridgewater also had their own brief dealing with a bomb threat on Tuesday afternoon after a threat was called in at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre.
Not long after their initial tweet that the department was responding, they updated saying the scene was all clear.
