Unknown Substance Posed No Danger

Things are back to normal at Robert Moore School and the adjacent School Board Office in Fort Frances.

The Northwestern Health Unit closed both on Friday after a bag containing a mysterious powder was found at the school.

Environmental Health Director Bill Limerick says the test results did not reveal what the substance was but it did indicate it was not a biological agent capable of bacteria growth such as anthrax.
