FALSE ALARM
Three police cars, an ambulance and a fire truck converged on the intersection of Lake and Wellington Streets this morning at 7:30. A 9-1-1 caller had reported an individual slumped over in a vehicle.

When emergency services arrived, there was no vehicle to be seen so it has been listed as a false alarm.

City police have had a relatively quiet twenty-four hours answering only routine calls.

The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service in Support of the Law Enforcement Torch Run will be involved in several fund raising events this weekend.

Today, (April 26th) from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm, members of the Service will be bagging groceries at Rome's Independent Grocers.

This evening, a Pub Night will be held at Blue Liners Lounge at the Pee Wee arena as the kick off to a 24-hour or more? Marathon Hockey Game. This game, held at the Pee Wee Arena, will commence on tomorrow (April 27th) at 6:00 pm and carry on into the next day.

Donations for these events go directly to the Ontario Special Olympics and may be made at each venue. Later this summer a rodeo will be held.
