Police in Grande Prairie said there is no risk to the public after threatening calls were reported at multiple places including four schools Monday morning.
Around 8 a.m., police were called to a house to investigate a threatening phone call. About two hours later, RCMP were told a local school had also received a threatening call. Then, three more schools, a school district office and a hotel outside the city got similar phone calls, police said.

All of the threats but one were bomb-related, according to police.
“The calls are believed to have originated from the United States, however, the investigation is continuing to confirm this,” said Sgt. Shawn Graham Monday.
The names of the school and hotel will not be provided, said police.
RCMP said anyone with information can reach out to the Grande Prairie detachment at 780-830-5700 or local police. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers.
