ORILLIA, Ont. -- Local students were ordered to stay in their classrooms Thursday while emergency crews dealt with a 600-pound threat -- a female moose, estimated to be about two years old, which had made her way onto a property near Monsignor Lee Catholic School and Patrick Fogarty Catholic Secondary Schools.
"How Canadian is that?" Tyler Evans said upon learning a moose was behind the safety precaution.
"In the States they're getting locked down because of bomb threats, and we're getting locked down because of a moose," the Patrick Fogarty student said.
The schools were put in hold-and-secure mode, meaning they were told to stay put but not ordered to lock down the school.
Police closed roads in the area and asked the Ministry of Natural Resources for assistance, ministry spokeswoman Jolanta Kowalski said.
MNR staff tranquilized the moose and relocated it to the Swift Rapids area about 30 km north of the city, Petryshyn said, noting the moose was up and running shortly after it was released.
"This is a first for me," said Patrick Fogarty principal Andy Sendzik.
He said his school was in hold-and-secure mode for about an hour.

AP , Associated Press Jan. 10, 1995 1:21 PM ET ANCHORAGE, ALASKA ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) _ A man was stomped to death at the University of Alaska by a moose that was being harassed by students as it roamed the campus with its calf.
The animals were outside the gym when 71-year-old Myong Chin Ra arrived on Monday to use the sauna. ``He tried to just kind of slip by them,'' said campus police Officer Jim Milne, ``but that didn't work.''
The moose charged, and Ra ran toward a clump of trees. He fell on a slippery walkway, said Shane Harvey, a student. ``She'd get on her front legs and kick with her back legs,'' Harvey said. ``He probably got stomped about a dozen times.''
