OPP to conduct training at local school, ‘No cause for concern'
Residents in Collingwood will notice a heavy police presence Monday evening at a local school, but OPP says it's just a training exercise, and there is no cause for concern.
Officers will be at Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., including members of the emergency response team and personnel from the In-Service Training unit.
"The exercise will include tactical footwork, incident response drills, scenario-based training, and a familiarization walk-through of the facility," OPP stated in a release Monday.
Provincial police said the training helps strengthen their ability to respond effectively to various situations. 'While we hope such training is never needed, the possibility of critical incidents requires thorough preparation.'

'On certain vehicles, the exterior B-pillar trims on the driver and front passenger doors may not be properly attached,' the notice reads. 'As a result, the trim(s) could loosen and separate from the vehicle.' Parts detaching from one vehicle may cause a hazard for others on the road and 'increase the risk of a crash,' it warns.

Politics! Border bill blowback and 'Santa' Carney
The Liberals have tabled new legislation that would significantly expand law enforcement powers and tighten immigration of all kinds, including refugee claims, in a move to appease the Trump White House — but critics say it raises major concerns for Canadians' civil liberties. Meanwhile, Mark Carney met with Canada's provincial and territorial premiers this week in his first ever first ministers' meeting, and the post-meeting vibes have been extremely positive. There seems to be a general agreement on the idea of building a new east-west pipeline — but almost nothing else about it is clear, including who would actually build it. How long will the honeymoon last? The Toronto Star's Althia Raj and CBC Ottawa's Aaron Wherry are on the show to tackle this political doubleheader. Fill out or listener survey here.
