Suspicious white powder found at Ryerson was a hoax

A scare for Ryerson University students this morning after HazMat crews were called in when an envelope containing a suspicious white powder was found on campus.

Ryerson's library building at Victoria and Gould Street was closed off with police tape for a number of hours while emergency crews investigated.

A university employee found the letter sized envelope tucked under a door around 6:30 am.

Four people were quarantined for precautionary reasons. But, in the end, it was determined to be a hoax.

It's the second time this semester this sort of prank has been pulled at ryerson. no injuries or sicknesses have been reported – and classes have now resumed.
