The Centre on Barton received clearance by the Hamilton police after a suspicious package was identified.

Subsequent to the discovery, and as a precautionary measure, Barton Street East was closed off between Ottawa Street North and Kenilworth Avenue North.
Law enforcement responded in force; bringing a K9 unit and several bomb squad officers.
Police scanned the package, before rendering it “safe” and destroying it. No businesses were directly targeted and no threats were received.
