Hamilton police (HPS) are investigating a Wednesday afternoon altercation at a Stoney Creek secondary school involving a group of non-students.

In a statement following the incident, Saltfleet District High School principal Glenn Cooke revealed an incident was tied to a “youth in the community” and some “non-students” entering the learning facility.

“We are reviewing this incident and want you to know that student and staff safety is of the utmost importance” Cooke assured guardians in a letter Wednesday afternoon.

“The school remains a safe place for students to learn and staff to work.”

Hamilton police say officers were dispatched around noon to follow up on a call tied to a “physical altercation.”
