Ottawa hotel evacuation linked to N.S. suspicious package investigation
The Chimo Hotel in east Ottawa was evacuated and the surrounding area closed off to the public late Tuesday night, after Ottawa police received a threat by a man they believe had checked into the hotel. The RCMP say the incident is linked to a Nova Scotia investigation that saw 20 homes in Cole Harbour evacuated Tuesday after a suspicious package containing hazardous chemicals was found in the garage . Later, an evacuation order was issued in Grand Desert, and it remains in effect.
