All schools on Canada's Prince Edward Island are being evacuated due to a 'potential threat', police say.

Students are being taken to safe locations, where their parents will later be able to collect them, the BBC reported, quoting a statement from Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Universities in Nova Scotia have also been evacuated, reports say.

Two campuses of Nova Scotia Community College -- the IT campus in Halifax and Marconi campus in Sydney -- have been evacuated due to bomb threats, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
