Saskatoon’s Hazmat unit was called twice Thursday to determine if suspicious packages contained a hazardous substance.
At 11 a.m. CT, emergency services were called to the Saskatoon Inn on Airport Drive. Employees received a package that contained what was reported to be a white powder-like substance.
Officials with the Saskatoon Fire department said the substance was non-hazardous.

The second call came in at around 4:10 p.m. A business in the 400-block of 22nd Street East reported a suspicious package containing a white powdery substance.
The Hazmat unit determined the second substance was also non-hazardous.
Both suspicious packages are being investigated by the police’s targeted enforcement unit.
The Saskatoon Police Service is reminding anyone who comes across suspicious mail to not handle it more than necessary, isolate the area and call 911.
