UPDATE: Students are returning to classes at Royal Bay Secondary after the smell of gas caused the school to temporarily evacuate late Friday morning.
Early lunch for #SD62 Royal Bay students! School has temporarily evacuated due to gas smell. Air intake pulled in the fumes from a gas leak in the neighbourhood. Thanks to @cityofcolwood Fire rescue and @FortisBC for getting to the scene quickly! Good thing it's a nice day out!
